Sylvania Silverstars - anyone have them?

Hey does anyone have the Sylvania Silverstars H4s? I saw them in a Buick Regal on some Speed Channel show and they looked pretty sweet. How much do they cost?

Thanks

Glad to see I'm not the only one who saw that. I think I am going to get a set for my dad's truck and check it out. I'll stick with my HIDs and PIAAs

Silverstars

I picked a pair of 9004s at AutoZone. They are very bright and white. No blue at all. They were around $24.95 each.

Yeah that's what I thought I saw on the show. All white and no blue at all. Sounds good to me. Got pics of them on your car?

but remember, if you have a 5th gen, non HID, then you use a 9003 bulb for the headlights. for whatever reason, they have not released the 9003 or H4 in the silverstars yet. i emailed the company and they gave a release date of this fall. i did however put the silverstars in my sister's xterra (9004) and they are a bright white except when you stare at the light itself, it gives off a purplish tint. you dont see it on the parameter but you can see it on the headlight.

So I guess I'll have to wait for them to come out. So, you're saying that the silverstars look pretty sweet then, huh? I guess I'll have to keep my PIAA SuperPlasma GTs for now.

Thanks

i can try and get a pic of my sister xterra next to my maxima to show the difference between the coolblues and the silverstars. the only thing is the lenses are different and im not sure if there is an amperage difference between the bulbs. ill borrow a dig camera and post it when i get a chance if you want.
