an additional 5 watts of available power.

I love the bulb.  I do get some people who flash in protest of its brightness, but not very often.  A quick blip of the SilverStar in the other socket lets 'em know that it could be A LOT worse. -Jeff Khoury

They are claiming to produce at least as much light as stock (3200k bulb temp. vs. 3100k for a regular halogen, iirc.) while consuming less power. Curious, I looked at the fine print and discovered they are rated at an average of 5 watts less than an equiv. normal bulb. Their H4 or 9003 is 50/60w hi/low and the newer KLR's H7 bulbs are rated at 50w instead of 55w each. It's not a lot. But, 5 watts to use somewhere else is something at least. Me? I have Silverstars in my 09' and like the extra light. =)
