What Fog lights?

[Alacran]

I am getting tired of replacing the silver stars on my car!

They are stock amperage but they keep blowing out to the point i always have one side blown out and not working. Rarely do i have both working at the same time.

The failure mode is the same the glass or bulb portion is intact but the element or filament is broken or open so it does not light up. I am sure i installed them correctly but its not working out.

Also, i dont need cray light output just a bulb thats brighter than stock or equivalent to silver stars.

TIA

Silverstars do that, go with some HID's, or just regular bulbs....... I've never had a silverstar last more than a year

Ditto on the silverstars, they always burnt out on me as well. I went with a $30 fog light kit from Meijer, which is cheaper than two silverstars and much more effective.

They were the cyberwhites, but I don't remember which model. Unfortunately they have a blue cover, but the color is bright white.

You drive a Grand Prix?

you guys suck at reading directions. lol

What if i go with the standard sylvania bulb but for the regal...the standard 893s?

I would go with GE Nighthawks. Not to be confused with the Nighthawk Sport which have blue tint. Narva Rangepower +30 and +50, Philips Vision plus or Osram Silverstars. These are not like Sylvania Silverstars they don't have the blue tint and they should last longer you'd have to order these online as I don't believe any stores carry Osram. The bulbs I recommended won't look as white but the light output will be higher because of the lack of blue tint cutting the light output.

A regular cheap nontinted bulb of the same wattage puts out more lumens than the Sylvania Silverstars and is a third of the price.

fuck silverstars

silverstar fogs are the suck. The headlights are good though. My original 2001 foglight bulbs are still working perfect and I always roll with the fogs on.

used to put high beam silverstars where the low beam goes in my old integra.

fuckers were pieces of shit though

Silverstars are terrible. VVME.com get HID fogs. they are great and easy to install.

Good info, exactly what i looking for. I thought Osram owned silvania. The search is on.
I roll with my fogs on too but my old bulbs were yellow compared to headlight bulbs.

I plan to look for these locally especially the Nighthawks. If anyone is using something else please post.

Yea from honk kong, and it only took all 3 of my kits 3 days to get to me. Shipping was insanely fast for being over seas. Kits work good.

do i need to update the wiring for this or just plug and play?

fogs are plug and play, but they make harnesses... and are recommended...

9007-3 kit comes with harness, but there are better harnesses out there...

How about these...Pilots? I cannot find the Nighthawks in any stores locally. I dont want to order them either.

I was thinking about Nighthawks but I could not find them in any store. If you truly want them, buying them online is your option.

Where did you look, what store?

 

[framos242]

I looked at Autozone, Pep Boys, Murrays, Advance, Walmart, K-Mart and Target with no luck.

 

[Alacran]

What about LEDs? Anyone have them running? I am giving up on Nighthawks moving on to Pilots but standard 893 are still on the list.

 

[Alacran]

Well autozone has the pilots but i am not too impressed.

Has anyone here used them? Its 17.99 a pair with Xenon gas. The main thing that concerns me is durability. Are they comparable to the Nighthawks (300 hrs) or worse?
