Anyone have any headlights better then silverstars?

I know silverstars give great white light but they super suck when it comes to life of the bulb.

I know people who change them yearly and it simply to expencive to do that, when a set of bulbs cost $50. A regular par of bulbs cost only 20 bucks.


So are there any aftermarket bulb makers that make clean white light as a fraction of that cost?

thanks ryan, but i dont want to covert my headlights to projector ballast. The reason why i want white light is because i don't want to be bothered by the police having incorrect headlight cut off and blinding traffic.

I believe you can get the HIDs in white.... also the headlight cut off, meh, you don't have to get the import projector housings, they can work in your headlights, also, you could do like what griff had and retro fit some projectors from another car into your headlight housing, meaning it will be usdm already and bam, no headlight cut off issues. Throw some clear lenses on there and boom, no problems.

that is an incredible amount of work. I just want white light, that can simply be done by buying silver star ultras. But the problem i'm having is silverstars are uber expensive and last one year only.
