Just stick with the stock sylvania 880's. The sylvania SilverStar 880 are nice too, but they only last 3-4 months. I went through 2 sets before I switched back to the regular set. Most of the aftermarket "hyperwhites" will melt your housings.

aftermarket hyperwhites are junk IMHO. i cleaned all of mine before installing them and went through 3 sets in a year. and after going back to stock i actually think you can see better with the original ones. they just dont shine as bright in the chevys like they do in the bmw's. they do look good though

then again maybe i just bought the crappy ones

stock 880's will last longer than any other bulb. the stock stepup keeps blowing aftermarket bulbs. i replaced my fogs will PIAA housings and bulbs.

They're good, but will only last you a few months
