Silverstars

by **MNSolara** » Sun May 04, 2003 4:30 pm

I had a burnt out fog light and I figured it was a great time to just swap all of the lights out so that's what I did...a great improvement and it's a nice change from the yellow halogen glow the stock bulbs had!!! and it only took about 20 minutes which is the best part! The store didn't have the 9003 version so I picked up the H4 instead, knowing those work just as well, no?

You can either order them online or pick them up at stores like autozone or pepboys or anything like that.

I paid 24.99 a piece, so with MN sales tax @ 6.5%...I paid 106.46 for all four bulbs. oh and I got them at Checker Auto...which is an authorized Sylvania dealer.

good luck!

You could have gotten them for a lot cheaper directly from sylvania. They have a buy one set get another for 1/2 off deal. It should work out to $75 plus shipping minus $10 or $20 in rebates

Very true...I could have gotten them for cheaper but I did not want to wait for delivery and so forth...plus deliveries are f'd up where I live at the moment...so. the extra 25 for the enjoyment is well worth it...and I still qualify for the rebates. But yes...if I had the patience I would have gotten direct. It was a Saturday purchase while out shopping with a friend and I just decided to get them and get it over with instead of procastinating any longer. Anyways, I'm rambling...

Either way they are a lot better than stock.

I was wondering, are these silverstars actually PURE white? Cause when ever I look at mine and I compare with other cars(ofcourse with other brands) on the road, It seems like my silverstars has a tint of yellow in it. Or is it just me?

Just a question... BUT I STILL LIKE EM. There is a major difference for sure.

It's gonna have a tint of yellow compared to HID because it's a halogen bulb. If you have H4/9003 Silverstars, they wont be as white as a 9006 bulb due to the fact it's a dual filament unit.

if u compare to hyper white bulbs, of course the hyper white is whiter, but silverstars are good because they're brighter, not necessarily whiter. i like silverstars cuz you dont have the blue tint on the bulb and it closer resembles true HID's
