cool blues from sylvania

does anybody have these sylvania cool blue halogens? 9003cb - 9006cb?
is there a major difference in performance with silverstars or are they just for looks?

Silverstars are the closest to pure white!

i used to have those before silverstars...IMO not much different than stock halogens.

Same here, I think they just give more of a blue tint.

And tint eats up light. I think the silverstars have the lightest tint of all the blue glass bulbs.

Real HIDs are closest to pure white

I just checked out Sylvania's site. It says that Silverstars are 4000K, and True blues are 3500K-3700K.

Doesn't that mean true blues are yellower than Silverstars?

Yep your right! anything below 4100k will start to go yellow side.

These blue lights are just coated blue.

Maybe Silverstars are the whitest halogens yes. :wink:

Dude... I believe we are talking about regular halogen bulbs like the sylvania coolblue and Silverstars.

All halogens that promote a brighter color have some kind of tint to them, of course!

No duh, HID's are brighter. ...pay attention dude!:roll:

hahahahaha
Silverstars are definatly the whitest Ive seen for a halogen bulb.
Can't compar with HID. Thats two different ball parks.
