[/quote]I've used Philips Silver Vision bulbs on previous cars, but they don't make the front wedge type bulb, so I bought the Solaris bulbs. One of the rear bulbs arrived defective so I installed a Philips Sliver Vision I had lying around, and it was a bit brighter than the Solaris, so I have Philips in the rear and Solaris in the front and sides.
If anybody knows of another top tier manufacturer (like Philips, Sylvania, etc.) that makes the front 3457AK wedge type bulbs that are closer to the brightness of stock, I'd change the Solaris bulbs. Anybody?
I'd suggest getting a replacement set of fronts from bimmian--they have a customer service section on their site and they'll probably send them to you gratis.
