This is probably a question for Daniel, but at least originally, the Silverstars sold in North America are not the same as the Silverstars sold in the rest of the world. Osram/Sylvania make two different bulbs, both called "Silverstar."


From the Sylvania web site:
3. What’s the difference between European and North American SilverStar?The Sylvania North American SilverStar bulbs have a high tech amethyst blue coating to help give the whiter light appearance. The European SilverStar does not have a coating for the whiter light, making it more like the SYLVANIA (US) XtraVision product line. Both bulbs offer greater luminance (increased brightness).http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/HighPerformance/Silverstar/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/?FILTERNAME=%40URL\&FILTERVALUE=www%2Esylvania%2Ec om
Any blue coating or tint will reduce light output. According to Sylvania's North American products comparison, the Xtravision has the same brightness, but without the coating. It's also cheaper. Hmm...
