Default Just to double check....

I got some Sylvania Silverstar bulbs from doing a little searching and researching on the forum. I went to 3 different auto parts stores and could not find the ultras in stock. So I have some questions.

1) Should I return these and get the Ultras? (Are they worth the price difference and are they that much better?)

2) The model number is 'H7 ST/2' in the upper right of the package. On the left is says just 'H7.' Will these fit my car? (B5 A4)

Thanks in advance.

Spend about the same money and get the www.vvme.com hid's. About the same price and unlike the silverstars which you have to replace every couple months they'll last the life of your car. I have them in my HIghs(they work great in highbeams if you warm them up before you need to use them) lowbeams and fogs. Bright as bright can be and three times the light output of the silverstars. Just a suggestion...

Is the life of the silverstars actually measured in months? Are there other options that will last me longer than that? The bulbs that were in the car when I bought it lasted nearly 4 years. Are there any other options.

I don't really want to get a HID kit for a couple hundred bucks.
