PIAA Extreme White Plus 9007

I was wonder, those PIAA Extreme White Plus 9007 bulbs are so expensive, is there any reason to buy them? I mean compare to Sylvania SilverStar 9007 Plus, can I see any difference?
Can you help me to choose, pls?
Also PIAA has H11 bulbs for the fog lights which Sylvania doesn't have. If I'll buy PIAA, I will be able match headlights and fog lights bulbs. But they are very expensive - the whole set will cost at least $160.

i've heard they are much better than silverstar's. i had silverstars on my old ram and while they did improve lighting somewhat, it was mostly just a "cooler" color, the piaa's are suppose to improve lighting quite a bit. i've also heard some reliability issues with the silverstars not keeping their seal and so on

I have used PIAA since 2002 when I bought my Maxima. I have never used Silverstars so I can't tell you anything about them. PIAA costs because they're a great product in my experience.

I will see if I can find one when I get home. I like the light output over the stock bulbs. I didn't adjust my headlights after I installed the PIAA's because they added more useable light from where I sit.

That's what I wanted to hear.
B/C they got the same Watts output 55/65W, I just couldn't see big difference.
I want to try Sylvania SilverStar PLUS, they cost around $40-50, but I can get them on ebay for $30 with shipping.
