Does anyone use Sylvania Silverstar Halogen bulbs? Is there much difference over regular halogen?

 

The silverstar are a little brighter but not really worth the money. Try getting some xenon hyper white bulbs they put out a real clear light and are much brighter(silverstars work at 3200k the xenon ones work at 4000-4200k) just go to your local advance auto parts or pep boys they should have them.

 

Yeah, I am using hyper whites for my maxima, and they are bright! I really don't need my high beams sometimes. Now, if I could find some brighter bulbs for the parking lights........

 

i've got some halogen lights in my parkings light and they are actually brigther than my low beams. i have some of those cool blue headlights right now but they arent really brighter then the regular headlights. i got the halogen parking lights from autozone. they are actually made for reverse lights and crossover to an 1156 light bulb, but since they dont bulge out like an 1156 the fit through the hole where the parking lamps go. they are so bright i didnt need to turn my headlights on last night when i was driving home. i also put some in my corner lights and its like having a headlight on the side. also put some of those hyper white 1156 just to see what theyd look like. they look better than the halogens but werent near as bright so i ended up putting them in my reverse lights. i also think you can get the super white bulb that cross to a 67 which go in the patking lamps and liscence plate lights if you were wanting to add a blue tint. i think ill try those in my liscence plate lights since i have one of those out right now.

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert our lights over to 9007 instead of 9004? The lights look almost the same, but the 9007 output more wattage normally. Is the polarity different? Does the retainer collar for the bulb fit over this bulb?

Since the wattage is higher, but not by much (55 vs. 45), would it require upgrading the harness, and wiring in relay?

This was just a thought. Some here have had good luck with standard wattage Xenon bulbs, and they're supposed to run cooler. So I was wondering if converting to a 9007 bulb, and running a Xenon 9007 would produce more light?

If I can find more information on this, I'd be willing to do it. Does anyone have a car that runs 9007 bulbs, to check the polarity?

 

I dunno, I went the PIAA route with my 86. Though I forked out a little bit of money, I found it worth it.

This is my set up:
PIAA Xtreme White 9004 Headlights
Polarg M-25 Parking Bulb
PIAA Super White Turn Signal and Cornering Assembly
PIAA 2100XT Xtreme White Fog Lights.

 

i have the 9007's in my max ans they fit just fine i havent had a problem with em yet and i do ALOT of nite driving but i also am lookin for a parking light bulb in hiper white or blue i intend to convert all my bulbs to hipers i jus need to find all the equivalent bulbs and im all set
