HIR bulbs
What's the deal with the HIR bulbs. Are they better than Silver Star and Xenon bulbs.

Night and Day difference, thhe HIR's made up for the little bit I lost with the Blue Rockblockers, the old hibeams are in the fogs and work equally better than the stockers..

Silverstars are junk made by Sylvania to capitalize on the Euro silverstar by parent company Osram which is a genuine new technology bulb. For details on lighting:

Had 'em both - HIRs are far better!

You can pick-up the low beam HIR bulb from your local John Deere dealer.
Well, the Mayans and other Soothsayers were right, the end has begun.

HIR are brighter but more yellow than silverstar, get HID's, it's worth it.

Whiter light (higher spectrum) may somehow look cool, but it is definitely not safer. Our eyes perceive things better with more yellow present, especially discerning actual distance to moving objects.
Adding HID to lens not designed for them is a waste.
