whos got sylvania silverstar lights

i know i read someone in here had installed some of those sylvania silverstar headlights. i went out for some new bulbs and saw them and was supprised at the cost. are they worth it? did they make a big differance? and does anyone make "white" bulbs that would match for the fog lights?

That was me. I paid $40 for them. I think they were worth it. I am very happy with them.

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.

i have them to, and  i'v also had every other type of new improved headlight and i think these make the only, if any difference. everything else did nothing

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...

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!

My buddy blu84302 has them.  They are a little nicer, but his are the old sealed beam lights.  Honestly I don't think they are worth it.

those bulbs make NO difference at all

I like them because they give the look of a stock bulb and are brighter than halogen

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?)

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.
