Re: whos got sylvania silverstar lights Reply #2 – February 11, 2005, 06:26:46 AM Well you have one yay and one nay... I have them, but don't see any major difference from the 5 year old GEs I removed... They are a little whiter, but IMHO not worth the extra price.BTW I have new lenses in my bird. Quote Selected

Re: whos got sylvania silverstar lights Reply #4 – February 11, 2005, 10:24:13 AM I also bought them foe $40 and installed them. I noticed only a slight difference, just a little brighter. I guess it was worth them extra $ for them, to gain a few more lumens... Quote Selected

Re: whos got sylvania silverstar lights Reply #6 – February 11, 2005, 12:59:11 PM I realize you've already made a decision, but i'd figure i'd chime in with my perspective. I bought the silverstars myself thinking that the would be a drastic improvement, but ended up realizing they were pretty much the same output as my old ones. I ended up buying some $16 "ricer" hyper bright bulbs from napa and they have been absolutly awesome (it also helps that my headlight enclosures have been replaced). But if you're looking for a really bright white light from you headlight swing buy a napa in you area if you have one and take a look see in their "tuner" section. I think you'll be satified with them! Quote Selected

Re: whos got sylvania silverstar lights Reply #9 – February 11, 2005, 10:18:44 PM I like them because they give the look of a stock bulb and are brighter than halogen Quote Selected
Re: whos got sylvania silverstar lights Reply #10 – February 11, 2005, 11:13:58 PM I put in a pair about a year ago. For me, they made quite a difference. (Maybe my previous bulbs had already dimmed from age?) Quote Selected
Re: whos got sylvania silverstar lights Reply #11 – February 12, 2005, 10:06:58 AM I love them! I actually don't have my high beams installed, and i don't really think i need them. At first i didn't think they'd make a difference but after i adjusted the headlights, they are my best friends... other than the speaker box, and the pipes.Spend all you can on them. I got mine when advance had the buy one get one half off sale. Quote Selected
