O.K. I put the vision plus lamps in today and so far, they seem much brighter than my stock bulbs...I need to wait for it to get dark around here to put them to the test. I was at the store today and saw the Silverstar bulbs for $24 apiece! Hard to tell, I think they are a different bulb than the Vision Plus. The Vision plus have a blue colored band around the body of the bulb and are of course $28 for a pair. By the way...Why does the manual have you ratchet the whole headlight assembly off and disconnect everything just to replace the darned bulb? I spent 10 minutes on one side going by the manual and about 30 seconds on the other side just unscrewing the jar lid and undoing the wire clip. Is there some sort of electrical hazard I should worry about, even with the ignition off? Gluteus
