I just bought some silverstar 1157s for the corners. I had some hyperwhite ones in there but they didn't match my HIDs very well. For some reason, the hyperwhite 1157 bulbs just don't have the right color. I like the silverstars bc the bulb glows amber but it is coated so during the day the lens doesn't reflect amber. I hope they last. I want my corners to be the same color as my headlights but I don't know what the best thing to do is.

I was talking about the silverstar low beams, not turn signals

silver stars do suck soo bad the output is ok for halogen bulb but i went through them every 6 months and no i never touch the bulb look at all reviews from people, they dont last long at all, i ended up take reg bulbs and doing the 9005 conversion till i got the money for HID's which didnt take long , get them from darryl kaixen HIDs best kit ever

Yeah I've gone through 3 bulbs on my accord, but with my old saturn I never had to replace my silverstars... Either they really are hit or miss, or they just suck on Hondas

Pardon me for sounding like an idiot. Which most of you know I"m not. How do you install the DDM tuning Hid kits?
