  1. You can take your car to Firestone and give them your alignment specs. For $150 lifetime alignment service, it is worth it if you keep changing your set up.

     

    i spec it out personally? usually the whole arrangement is more passive: i bring it in, they hand it back to me and say- we had to give it this much neg camber, don't slam it so much...

  2. I have Silverstars on my previous vehicle. It's a little brighter for sure, and certainly whiter. They have been fine for 2 years now, fwiw.

     

    Incidentally, just to point out a little silliness that I see on the roads. Often I see people with blue-tinted lights. The Silverstars are more white, and slightly blueish, but not like the "blue" lights I see so often. For those that don't know, blue is one of the harder colors for our eyes to see - that's why you have heard of those Blueblocker sunglasses. So, going "blue" isn't the answer - it simply adds haziness to your vision, and doesn't accomplish much else. Yellow lights probably are better than blue, with white being the best, of course.

     

    Ok, I'm off my soapbox now.

     

    isn't the yellow end of the spectrum easier on the eyes? i mean, if you are to say that blue is bad, hence the need for blue blockers- wouldn't the natural assumption be then that white (which is a combination of all colors of the spectrum and therefore have blue in it) would be bad as well.

     

    my understanding is that yellow (to be more appropriate- "natural") light was chosen for that very reason. when HID's came out, they were annoying to some oncoming drivers but were more useful to the driver of the vehicle in question because of their HIGH INTENSITY. However, these wannabe white lights (i.e. PIAA) merely are colored white, do not offer any increase in discharge and therefore lumination, and so offer the driver no advantage and still serve to piss off everyone else.
