I just replaced my stock halogens with a set of Sylvania Silverstars in my
'98 Intrigue. These are a really good upgrade for the money. You get a
whiter light (supposed to be in the 4000*K range) but they aren't supposed
to be any brighter than stock. Although it is easier to see at night now.

Karen,
As an Optometrist I will comment on your night blindness isssue.
First, Milton is right, stick with the round halogens. Second if the
problem has started since your last eye exam, get one. Sometimes the
refractive power of the eye can change, and we will notice it more so in low
light
Karen,
I've been having trouble with night-blindness while
driving, and have decided to replace my yellow-light
halogens on new car.
Why do you believe that will help? Contray to popular belief, you need light
output in the 563 nanometer wavelength, which is the average for daytime
sunlight

HID is a nice but expensive upgrade. I feel the best value is a simple upgrade
to a stock wattage Xenon bulb in the 4000
Kelvin range. APC makes a reliable bulb at a great price point. I put them in
my 03 Pont

Any recommendations in differences between HID,
CoolBlue (ricers), and Xenon?
And I guess these won't be too hot to haze plastic
lenses?
Thanks in advance.
