they're that white looking? i orderd some but khmotorsports said that the whiteness is sorta like normal halogens so I just went out and bought the Sylvania Silverstars and was going to return the osrams.
 
Ok my osrams came today... are your fogs stock in that pic? If so, then the osrams aren't very white.. I ask this because as I posted above I already have the sylvania silverstars in and my Osrams came in the mail today, and I'm debating whether to return them... as of right now I think I'll get the osram silverstars for fog lights or something and return these H7s and pay the 20% restocking fee.
 
AGH If you have the Sylvania Silverstars DON'T BUT THE OSRAMS! ugh i wasted 35 bucks on nothing. They don't look brighter or whiter... they might be a tiny bit yellower but not much... well you check the pic and see for yourself

Ok here's the game. Tell me which one is the euro spec silverstar and I'll give you... nothing but do it anyways.

left one is sylvania
right is osram.

can you take a shot of the light pattern on the ground or on a wall that is the best way to tell the brightness of each.

what lights are you using for your fogs btw?

Yeah you got it right...the osram isn't quite as white. the fog bulbs are stock, I guess it's a bad picture but it does accurately show the difference between Sylvania and Osram.

I say the one on the right is the Osram Silverstar and the one on the left is the Sylvania Silverstar. Low beams of course. (nana)
 
well i guess looking at the PICs the performance of the OSRAM should be better than that of the SYLVANIA.... becuase i have a set of SYLVANIA on my car and they have a very ligth blue tint on the bulb.... probably thus allowing them to be slightly whiter than the OSRAMs....

therefore even if they both produce the same amount of light output the OSRAMS would be better because there is no blue tint on the blub to absorb part of the yellow light spectrum, and thus osrams should be a little more better theoretically because no part of the light spectrum is cut out to produce the whiteness

No doubt about it, since they are both the same wattage but the osram has clear glass, it should in fact be brighter, but have you seen the blue coating on the Sylvania H7? on the H7 specifically it's veeeery light, and if the osram looks brighter in my pics it's because the driver side headlight seems to be aimed up a little.
 
in my above picture im running osram headlights with OEM fogs. i have since added the ion crystal fogs which i must say are bad ass. one of my silverstars burnt out so now im running one stock and one silverstar and from inside the car i can't tell a difference. id say these bulbs were a waste of money
