After some careful consideration, I got SilverStar Ultra headlights. They are decent, but not quite bright enough on my car. Are there any better??

Those lights cost me $50, and I while I feel they perform well, it's not THAT well compared to other halogen lights I see on the road.

And no, I will NOT do an HID conversion, it's not legal for my car, and we have strict police around here.. Not to mention, HID "conversions" usually blind other drivers.

Are these replacement headlights completely? Did you get the beam aligned to suit?

They are just bulb replacement. I went from the old Sylvania bulbs that were in them, to the SilverStar Ultras.. They are an improvement, but considering the old bulbs were atleast more than 5 years old, it was time, considering 1 actually burnt out..

I aligned them as per the GM service manual says for this car..

I have been using SilverStar Ultras in my Sunfire, the HID conversions I have seen on the
roads are annoying and unsafe, its best too just buy a car that comes with factory HID
