sylvania silverstars.... they are like night and day...



if money is not an issue, get Silverstar ULTRAS

 

[SaturdaysGS]

+1 for the SS Ultras. I would only buy them, and not the regular Silverstars. Why? The regular Silverstars are known to not last as long, and on the Ultras packaging it mentions that they last longer. Obviously Sylvania knows its a problem.

Alfredo, you should really look into a HD headlight harness like the one on SUVlights.com. I bought one, and noticed a night and day difference on STOCK bulbs with that harness.

I know the Silverstar foglight bulbs do not last long, but I haven't heard anything about the 9007 bulbs. I've been running them for a while now, at least a year.

Well that is the reason why i started this post, I bought the SSU bulbs and did not like them. They were to amber and dont want that, also had the first SS and didnt like them either. I forgot what i have now but its something that I bought from Paul a few years back and like them because its clear with the bulb covered with some blue stuff on it. Both of my corners are out so i need to find those too ASAP. I will see who else puts in there .02.

But thanks for the responses guys.

i have silverstar ultra. if you don't mind the yellow beam then buy them cause they are brite at nite. i don't them cause they almost just little lighter yellow color like stock. if you want something white for looks get nokya. i think you like them. if you are from the city you can them like $25 from evolution. it's on touhy between western and kedzie. don't buy from car boutique those guys will rape you with their price. they will charge you $50 plus tax.

harder to find now, but i have wagner true view bulbs... they are brighter and more white than stock, but perhaps not as much so as the silverstars, but they've been in the car almost a year now. --the packaging they come in is purple, but that's just the packaging, they dont shine purple

An upgraded harness will only change the lumen output of the lights, it won't change the color any.

As far as temperature of the light, I wouldn't waste money on anything hotter than about 5800K. That's the temperature of the surface of the Sun, and is the temperature that human eyes are designed for. Anything higher will look more blue and dimmer with the same lumen output. Blue light also reflects off wet roads instead of refracting back at the driver, so that in wet weather it's much harder to see with hotter temperature light.

just my $0.02

I have been running the Silver Stars for almost 4 or 5 years now. They have not burned out yet.

Wow, I was just talking about that place the other day. I used to go there to by my Cuzo's when I had the Ford....I'm a recovering Ricer...Please don't lead me back into temptation..

Silver Stars are as bright as your gonna get on halogen bulbs. Maybe a Google image search might help. I know I saw a pic somewhere about stock vs. Silver Stars.

Car Boutique still exists? Damn, I was hoping they had gone out of business. I was there twice years ago. Never bothered to buy anything cause I couldn't stand the ass-hats working there. Not to mention the crazy high prices. But as for the subject at hand, yeah, I'll most likely be grabbing silverstars at some point. Who has them the cheapest? Without driving out to the city.

Why don't you want HIDs? They are now cheaper than ever and blow ANY bulb out of the water output wise.

Realize that the only way you can increase the light output of the bulb is by purchasing a higher wattage bulb that requires an HD harness. You'll have ~$70.00 invested when for not much more you can have an HID kit that will last for years, draw less power, and still blow the high wattage bulbs out of the water.

StreetGlows work great on my car.........

Go to the website and I think you will like them.

Mine have been on about 4 years now problem free!

Mikey you should sell some on your site and then sell me a set at a discount price.

any good sites for HID's for cheap? can you make the foglights any brighter as well? I like to annoy people.

 

[1BADGTP]

Dont mean to hijack this but it deals with brighter fog lights. Do they sell Blazertech 3200 Fog Lamps anymore? Had them on my old GP and I loved them!

I got them and replaced the bulbs to something brighter just kept the housing.

 

[Mike K]

Fredo, we have em on our site!

Take a look. They work awesome as well.

 

[Kyle]

mike you guys gonna offer the kit with brights again too?

 

[CoolGTX]

I installed HID's, after 7 years of /non-burnt out stockers. If you call or email me Ill hook you up, and he sells HIDs for the fogs also. BTW, I had them next day, paying NO extra. alot better than the stockers, even with my Covers on. This is a COMPLETE kit, nothing else needed to buy.

J/O

 

[Mike K]

Kyle, The highs are garbage on ANY kit. Don't let anyone tell you differently. The only proper way to do it is to get a 4 ballast setup with two bulbs per housing.

i have a set of silverstar ultra laying around because i swiched to HID but and had them all last summer and the fog lights kinda suck they last about a week and then there done but the headlights are good there brighter and have a very light tint of blue from far away id recomend them if you dont want HID

I know the Silverstar foglight bulbs do not last long, but I haven't heard anything about the 9007 bulbs. I've been running them for a while now, at least a year.
