sylvania silverstar headlight bulbs

[RagingAsian]

Good or bad? are they worth 80.00 bucks? (20.00 each x 4= 80.00)

If they are worth it, I'll save up some dough.

Discuss.

Personally, I would just swap out the low beams. I never use my high beams enough to justify replacing them unless they burn out.

Or, if I'm going to spend $80, I'll buy a 9006 HID kit.

Just get xtravisions. They cost half as much and look nearly as good. The output from them is whiter then normal bulbs. I have them, and they do pretty well.

Heres another hint... Get your bulbs at walmart. xtravisions there are $9 each as opposed to $14 at most auto parts stores.

They are pretty noticeably better, but in my case, they burnt out in like 6-8 months. So I eventually got sick of spending so much money on them that I just did a TSX retrofit.

I would also suggest just getting the xtravisions. That is what I have and I am reasonably happy with them. They are not super amazing (like high-end silverstars or piaas) but they are better than the cheapos. What you might also consider doing is adding an aftermarket set of driving/fog lights. I have a $20 set of pilot brand fog lights that I use at the same time as my low-beams and my light output and vision was improved drastically. Obviously that is more work than just swapping the bulbs but it is just a suggestion

Its not bad but for that much I would rather buy HIDs kit.

imho i'd just get a kit from that 65dollarhidkit.com website cuz i really hate those silverstar bulbs, they suck....if those bulbs were a person i'd punch him right in the face

I dont want an HID kit cause I dont like the thought of cutting up my original wiring haraness.

X2. I still have the 8k's in. Completely honest here: teh suxks. The ballast on the passenger side likes to kick the bulb on and off. Then when it is working, the light will go from amber colored, to pure white, to bluish, then shut back off.

I have silverstars in my high beams, you can see them poking their little sylvania colors out in my sig. I took them out of my old CB from a million years ago. I suppose it's the exception, because those bulbs were sitting in my closet at my parent's house since 2005 I found them when I was there last, plugged them in- and haven't had a problem yet. Weird.

just buy the Silver star Ultras Highs and convert them to fit in you lows.

Thats what I did.

I got a set of Silver Star Ultras lows in my tool box, if you werent so far away, i would let you try them.

You dont have to cut up the original wiring harness. My kit was strictly plug and play

HID bulb ---- Plugs into ---> Ballist -----which plugs into ---> OEM plug socket.

All i had to do was mount the ballist and it works like a charm.

Do you have a picture, link of what youre describing?


Cause I almost hit a guy on a bicycle. (but in all fairness, he was wearing all black and he was riding the middle of the road, where its 55)



Is there a difference between teh Ultra Highs and the Silverlights?

[chronicponic]

I put um in my car as the low beams about 2 weeks ago. They are way brighter. Altho the sticker price is a lil bit crazy. I wonder if maybe they are a lil 2 bright, Ive had a couple ppl in front of me pull over and let me go around. I like um but i think other drivers dont

I can take a picture of them in my car if you want. The way they're hooked up that is.

Here is basically what i got



Are you can see the big red plug comming out of the ballist, that goes into the OEM harness and the other 2 wires go to the bulb.

My brother got me them for christmas he gets them for around $60-$80 low beam only though
