I bought my headlights from the same place (katmac) and I was pleased with them overall. Just throw those blue colored bulbs right in the trash and get some regular bulbs. I was curious about the Silverstars myself and bought 1 silverstar and 1 regular and yes, with both in my headlights at the same time I did notice a "slight" difference between the two, but not nearly enough to justify $40 for 2 as oppose to $14 for regular bulbs. And I wouldnt suggest buying the "plasma" H3's, just use the ones from your old headlights.

Just make sure you get them aimed good and with headlights and foglights on at same time, there is plenty of light on the road.

as long as were talking on the subject. i bought my car with yellow bulbs in the fog light socket (inside, closest to the fan) and i was wondering if that was standard and someone just thought they would look interesting there.

The bulb should be a clear bulb. There is a yellow colored cup that covers the bulb once its in the socket, hence the yellow fog lights. Atleast thats how my 190E US headlights were. So yes, the yellow fog lights are standard.
