i love the look of my silvia front end conversion, but my low beams are terrible. I have the silverstar bulbs in them and they are adjusted properly and they still suck. My high beams work great, but the lows are poop. Are there any tricks to these lights or do they all stink?

If they are the round projector lens type similar to the kouki s14 they are going to suck with out hids. they look cool but that is about it.

check your aiming. Camry I used to own did that until I fixed the aiming on it

they're not the projectors, just the regular lights. And they are aimed right, i've adjusted them probably a dozen times and it really makes almost no difference.

They are just horrible like 98s14inaz said. My freind has triple projectors and they are still bad with silver stars. Invest in some projectors and HIDs, it helps out alot. It was night and day when my friend changed to phillips HIDs a few weeks ago, I don't know the color temp.
