The silver stars are a direct 10 minute replacement requiring no conversion and are a noticeable improvement. I would go with them for one the road use and leave the blindingly bright lighting on the bar for off-road. On coming traffic will thank you.

I invite you to check your voltage at the light connector. Mine was reading 10.5v with the truck running. Just for S & G I ran a hot wire straight from the battery and couldn't believe the difference.

I bought those Silverstar sealed beams last year, and couldn't really tell a difference in brightness, save for a blue tinge. Took them back the same night.

The Hella Vision plus had too severe a cutoff for my tastes, and you'll notice the IPF's have a cutoff as well.

Most people say I'm all wrong on this, but oh well. Just my experiences.
