You guys seem to be on the right track. After my Eurolite's blew out at 3 months, I installed the Sylvania CB's (Cool Blue) and I must say that I'm not impressed at all. Word to the wise, don't waste the $$$ on the CB's

I have the OSRAM silverstars for the past while now. Forgot how long, over 6 months I believe. They're much brighter than the stocks and a lil whiter.
The Sylvania Silverstars are less bright but are more white. Choose the style you like, but both are reputable.

Just replaced high beam and low beam
Just replaced high beam (9005ST) and low beam (H7ST)
They are whiter and brighter than stock when comparing to FOG LIGHTS.
I have to get FOG LIGHTS yet. (H3ST)
Waiting for them to release Turn signal (1157AST).
REMEMBER to save stock bulbs, just in case.

Osram vs. Sylvania
IMO the Silverstars are the best bulbs you can buy if you are interested in light output as opposed to appearance. The Osram Silverstars are E-spec bulbs and therefore do not have the blue coating applied to the Sylvanias, giving the Osrams greater light output.
As mentioned above, you can obtain the Osrams from: www.powerbulbs.com
They have good service and fast shipping.

Not sure about the Sylvanias on Mazdas but seen it on a few other cars and they are rated good.
But personally I use brand new EuroDezign's 6000K Xenon/Krypton series lights over the 5200k ones, absolutely stunning.. for my eyes and the eyes of the deer up ahead. I will be getting my Kodak digital camera back, but in the mean time I ran downstairs to my garage and put in my one of my old stock bulbs in for a minute to compare against the wall, it really won't show you guys much detail in the color depth/brightness but its something to look at.
I will get my Kodak back tomorrow to take 3.5 Megapixel shots
the webcame is .5MPixels :S
(EuroDezigns on the left) (Stock Mazda Protege Bulb on the right)
Sorry the hood of my car was up kinda blocking the comparison... I will do it again at night against a building wall. Those are always the true tests. Distance

Lastly if you can afford it the better product would be to go with the TRUE H.I.D. Kit / Technology, for durability / light performance.

I couldn't see shyt in the rain with Sylvania Stars, so I tried Osram Stars... eeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaa. Much better, at least there less of that glare on the road. Plus, there was some group buy going on @ powerbulbs.com. (10% off plus free w5w). do the search on this forum.
