I have the stock 2 piece headlights (I plan on getting some projectors but money is tight right now), and I picked up some osram silverstar +50s cheap on ebay. Anyway.. I figured I'd post a pic. There is a definite difference. This is off my phone's cam, and it sucks, but you can see the difference. The beam is definitely more white than the previous bulbs.


The right one's the silverstar.

 

dang, that is quite a difference, lol, and thats a horrible camera phone. but nonetheless you can totally see the difference, the stock lighting from 96-98's are pathetic, so you took a good path on getting some silverstars. congrats on the mod, and keep them coming.

 

Once you get the projectors, the light output will increase more also. Those old stock 2 piece ones suck sooo bad, you'll be glad once you get the projectors in.
