Default Toshiba HIR bulbs

I heard through the grapevine that these bulbs are pretty sweet and way better than the Silverstars. At $24 a piece I may just give em a shot. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Forget all the replacement bulbs, that are brighter than this and that. Get some 6000K HID's and be done with it Munchers.
Don't forget a set for the driving lights too.

True...but I have yet to find a set of HID's for the high beams...as far as I know...the Toshiba's are the only current solution that has been recommended to me from JW Motoring. Well that or you would have to get the expensive $500+ HID full headlight replacement setup.

Yeah HIDs aren't suggested for highs. If you run them be sure to mod the lights where the lows stay on with highs. You will be in the dark if you don't (while the HIDS warm up).
