Well, I did this last night, I thought placing the camera here would get a great shot but it doesn't look like much from the pics. BTW these are regular Sylvania bulbs, not silverstars.
EDIT - the after pic is first

It appears to have made a difference. I haven't driven at night with the new bulbs yet (stupid spark plug wires came apart). The install was a breeze, just chopped the tab off along with grinding away the two prongs inside (I used my dremel with the tungsten cutter blade for both jobs). Then just CAREFULLY remove the 9006 yellow gasket from the old bulbs (I used a piece of solid-core wire to coax it off the bulb) and reinstall on the 9005. For 15 bucks, I'd say it's worth it.
