Now, before I mention my results, let me give you a bit of background...
I drive in the highway predominantly at night and found the stock bulbs lacking pretty severely as far as distance of visibility, intensity and peripheral illumination (side illumination).
SO, I decided to go for the Sylvania Silverstars. They were much better and had a much whiter light which allowed for easier and more pleasant illumination, even had about twice the intensity (at least it seemed as much).
Recently, my little brother has been having trouble funding college, so I gave him my Silverstars so that he could stay safer (he drives a Scion xA) and prevent him from getting a ticket (one side was already getting dim...).
That left me with a sudden need for headlights...
The Silverstar Ultras were right next to the regular Silverstars, but costed a bit more (about $10-15) and i was curious to see the difference. Of course, nobody knew the difference at Autozone...
So I decided to give them a try.
They are MILES away from the Silverstars when you are on the highway!
I have a full 180 degree view that shines brighter than a cohort who has an Altima with the Osram Silverstars (NOT the +50, the higher wattage ones), and I swear that the new headlights saved me when I could see a deer running towards the road about 50 ft away on my right hand side. I had enough time to slow down enough so that when the deer crossed the road, I was safely distanced.
I would suggest the ULTRA very highly! If for nothing more than safety and comfort (no more eye strain) and the illegalities of putting HID kits on the Versa.
