I was wondering if anyone has pics of silverstar. Also has anyone had problems with these, and if so wat are some light that you like better.
Thanks
Mike

 

I had the Silverstars and they were not good in wet weather, just to much glare. The concensus is that the Sylvania Xtravisions, Phillips Bluevisions, Sylvania Cool Blues are the best OEM replacements. I also include in that category the Wagner BriLites (NAPA) which I am very happy with. Just my two cents.

Well said!

I took my Silverstars out after driving around with them for one week, looking for my lights on the road. Every other car's lights on the highway at night over powered those bulbs. It was like driving with no headlights on.

And forgetaboutit when it rained, it was 40 bucks wasted on lights.

BUT - I will say this much, they do look good on your car!

 

what bulbs did you switch to? i have silverstars now and i cant wait to get rid of them! please let me know!

ahh.. i switched from silverstarts to PIAA Super White... they are basically the same... but the PIAA are a lil better in the rain or wet roads...

SILVERSTARS SUX IN THE RAIN OR WET ROADS

 

you need some yellow in the headlight to be able to see well in the rain, or something besides just a pure white light. I'm trying to figure out what kind of set up to use where I can see well in the rain, look better than stock type bulbs, yet not break my wallet.

 

how were they overpowered? i thought they claimed to be the brightest or something? wouldn't that make them overpower all the overs?

 

Yo! Ive been running on silverstars for a good 4 months now....they were great in the beginning! Giving a slight SILVER rainbow look outside looking at the housing.....No Blue whatsoever ...BUT SADLY These bulbs now look seemlessly like my regular stock Phillips HALOGEN BULBS...WTF!! Now im running MTECS on headlights and fogs..man they look sweet..you can see how white the light is when youre behind a clean black glossy car. Slight blue tint...but worth the money. They go retail for around 40 bucks a pair. Luckily my friend got me hooked up for 10 bucks for a pair. Laters Homies!

 

I tried Silverstars on my 97. They sucked. I took them out and returned them. Don't waste your money.

 

It's called Marketing 101.

Hands down, the best stock Halogen replacement 9004 bulb is the Sylvania Xtravision. They throw a lot of light on the road.

 

Checkout my website, page one. Just to let you know the silverstars are alright but I've just switched to a pair of Eurodesigns that I got off of Ebay. Wow! these lights are bright white with very little blue. You can see the difference anytime you pull along side another car. Great bulb. Hiper industries bulbs are also a good bulb for bright white light. Very similar to the Hids on my buddys 02' Max. I'll have pics of both these bulbs very soon.

 

Does anyone know of any reliable websites where you can order replacement bulbs?

 

just go ebay man, best bang fo tha buck!

 

I guess i'm the only one who has bought silverstars and still likes them.....

I've used them since about november, and the only time i've had a problem with them is during heavy mountain fog. You'll see a slight bluish hue on snow with them, but that's the only problem i've had with glare. I always use my fogs with them, so if there's a problem with them on wet roads, i don't think i notice because the fogs compensate for whatever my headlights can't do. I like them, do you want pics from inside or outside of the car?

 

i like mine too!

 

had silverstars since february and still like them, i seem them to much nice and whit but also people always ask "how come your headlights are so brite like that". BTW..i have no fog lights

 

I'm with you. Mine aren't bad at all. they're better than the stock ones in my opinion.

 

Isn't it funny how he's asked for pics yet after all these posts he hasn't gotten any? (I'm assuming). BTW, I'm getting the XD5's from the GD, ill post a pic up of what they look like on my car (once I get em).

 

Isn't it funny that many of the replies to this post were made today, and as i sit here at 7pm, the sun is still out, so you really can't take any decent pics of headlights?


I'll do it and post in a couple of hours......

 

so i took pics.....and they suck. My flash kept going off, and there's no way you can tell the difference in anything. So i'll wait till tommorrow, and try again....sorry.

 

If you want to see pics checkout my website. I've also added two bulbs. Eurodezigns on my car and Hiper Industries on my wifes. The pics don't do any of the bulbs justice but they do pic up the color of the bulbs pretty good. Notice how the Silverstars are yellower than the Eurodezigns.http://www.cardomain.com/id/bigtyme
