I saw them at Autozone, but they didn't have a price on them because they hadn't finished stocking the shelves with them. I'm running with Sylvania CoolBlues right now, and want to change if they're as bright as they APPEAR to be on the package.

did you mean Sylvania Xtravision? do a search for xtravision. People seem to like that too.

i was running sylvania cool blues too. then i got the sylvania silverstars afterwards after someone suggested them on this org. light output is a bit more over the cool blues. the light is whiter also.

rhard49

Read the package carefully it implies like 2x brighter but there web site and else where on the packaging it says 20 percent. I went with Silverstars much brighter then blues or the standard lighting. Liked em so much I bought another pair for my daughters altima. I believe theres still a sylvania 10 buck rebate on silver stars making them 30 bucks for the pair.

Do you like your Silverstars? Do they last a considerably nice amount of time or do they tend to fade out?

MadMax92

Since were on the topic has anyone seen the head lights that turn from purple to green as you pass? I wanted a pair and i'm not sure where to get them or if they're even safe to run with our stock wiring.

MaximaBalla

Hmmm? I don't think I've ever seen or heard of those? Must be a Chamellion painted light bulb!! LOL!! Umm? You might want to ask around, but, in my opinion, I'd think that they'd get pretty hot? I was running some blue Nokya's and they burnt up my harness!! So, I'd suggest you not go with them, but, like I said, thats my opinion. And before you go asking around, search before you do it otherwise you'll get flammed to death!! Good luck man!!

well considering my old Cool Blues were brighter than stock and then my Silverstars are brighter than the Cool Blues, I'd say yes I have not notice any fade in output since i installed them.

I've got some brand called PLAZMA...they we $40 from Sound Sensations in ATL. they're blue tint and brigt as hell. i was thinking about switching to PIAA or Sylvania Silverstar...i dunno tho

I have seen the bulbs that are a different color at different angles. Personally they look queer as hell and they arnt that bright.

MaximaBalla

Yeah, I wouldn't think that they would be that bright at all? I think that they'd actually be quite dim? And I bet they charge a lot for those bulbs!!

these bulbs arent illegal are they..

I think the only thing that makes lighting illegal is color such as yellow head lights or having an HID system that doesn't have a high beam possibly. I don't care my HID's are brighter than most high beams, as long as you keep your high beams and the color of the bulb is white, I don't think you should have any problems

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

hmm i'm curious... since your HID kit is now brighter than your old highbeams, did u have to aim your headlights lower after installing your HID?

Soul Fly

not a BLUE bulb. blue tint like on new bimmers and lexus'. they're almost as bright as HIDS. anyone have PIAAs?

D-sta

iTrader: (6)

I didn't adjust them at all because they are perfect and both sides are even. Also they aim everywhere but they get the floor in a great way so I'm not planing on touching them. I will post pics soon.

Yeah soul fly Piaa's have a blue tint to the bulb but they give out a real white light.

MadMax92

WHat I think looks gay is people who put blue bulbs in a car that doesn't Match blue. I want the chameleon looking bulbs because my max is burgandy

I was wondering because of the potential hazard it may pose on a two-way street. Don't wanna blind the other dude on the other side coming at ya, know what I mean? Can't wait til the pics are up. I'm sure it looks sweet. I'm looking into Catz 9004 HID. Anyone have catz products and are satisfied with their performance ?

93max

get audi's (TT) HID system IMO they are nice got like three colors to them. heard it was the lens that does this tho
and those xtravison bulbs.. i thought they were more yellowish so u could see better in wet conditions

I will post pictures as soon as I can, I haven't been able to do it since I have been working. I went for a little drive tonight with my brother and he was driving his RX-7 and I was driving with him on the Long Island Expressway and there is this part where it is pitch black and wow, I could really appreciate the HID's on that road and my brother was very impressed with the appearance himself. Pictures will be up very soon. The kit I bought has the Hella German Ballast like BMW's and a Hella Bulb. The kit is called HID plus by SPW industries, they just put the kit together. Contact optionmotor@yahoo.com and include in the e-mail that, Diego from maxima.org recommended you and he should give you a good price. He also sells the kits in either white, blue or purple.

Thanks for all the info, guys.

I was originally referring to the SilverStars. Since my car got hit, I haven't been around (kinda depressed about fixing on the Max until I get that dent fixed)

Anyway, if you guys think the SilverStars are worth the extra $$$ over the CoolBlues, then I might have to try them out.

[is a newbie in the lighting dept] now whats the point of having a yellow light, like yellow fogs as ive seen on some ES300s, IS's, and in general the aftermarket yellow fogs..? [/is a newbie in the lighting dept]

AscendantMax

i don't see how they can improve night time driving. i guess it's only for the look.

young1976

Yellow lighting or a low color temp, will allow you to see better in fog, rain, snow, etc. Since water or water related precipitation ie, fog, rain, snow, is in the blue spectrum, blue light or whiter light will reflect or bounce off of each water droplet. Therefore making it harder for you to see where the light is shining on. Yellow light will not be reflected off the water droplets, therefore cutting though say fog and lets you see the ground. Those of you who knows about light filters, know what I'm talking about. That's why those blue lights suck in the rain. And that's why I have my reg Halogens in my fog lights because they work better in bad weather. And I have a set of ion yellows I'll be putting in pretty soon.

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

will any shade of yellow work?

young1976

I would say if you know the color temp, go for ones around 2600k I think? Check http://www.autooptiks.com . I've got a pair of yellow ions from http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ord-L...ite-1-1543.htm I have to install them to see how they are.

yes they are street legal. i paid 25 each for mine, 20 bucks sounds like a good deal.

maxima2k2

what are the sylvania xtravision's like i never heard of those, are those better than the silverstars, because the silverstars are 4000 k max and its very close to hid lights

I have the siverstars, I picked them up a couple weeks ago ($20/each from autozone). They are pretty good except for wet driving, you can't see a damn thing when the road is wet.

maxima2k2

but how much of the road can you see when its raining and you have silverstars on?

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

i was doing some research into those yellow or lower color temperature fog lights. i came across this link:
http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF5/593.html

what u guys think about it?

eric93SE

iTrader: (1)

Wet = Rain Seriously when the road is wet, they do a really poor job of reflecting off the road surface.


Fosgat fan, I've been using Hella Yellow star 85 watt fog ligts for a long time now (a couple years at least) and they kick ****. Their cheap too, only around $12 each.

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

sounds like a good deal. where u get them at?

maxima2k2

any one know if sylvania xtravisions are better than silverstars?
