Silverstars

Where did you guys get your silverstar headlight bulbs? I have been to every auto parts store in my town and none of them have the silverstars to fit my truck, the H13/9008. I can find the fog lights, but not the headlights. I have looked on ebay and have found a couple on there but to be honest the sellers didnt look that trustworthy.

I found mine at Autozone (I've since gone to HID), but also later saw them at Wal-Mart. If they don't have them in your local store, have you asked if they can special order them? Usually worth a try!

Yeah, I went to Autozone and Advance and both told me that they cant get that bulb in the silverstars anymore, the guy at Autozone tried to argue with me that the 9008/H13 bulb didnt even exist. Then I talked to his manager and he said that they used to get them but for some reason dont anymore. They have just the regular replacement bulbs but not the silverstars. I went to a couple of Walmarts but they didnt have my bulb either. I dont live out in the boondocks or anything, I thought these bulbs would be easier to find than this!!!

They do not make the ultras in H13 yet as far as I can find. Just the regular , XV, and Silverstars.

Thats funny cause its a newer F-150 in the commercial. I believe the Silverstar H13's also took a long time to come out in the stores after the introduction.

ive got the ultra fogs and headlights, im constantly flashed bc people think i have my brights on. i think its a combo of the lift and the brightness of the lights that make people think this. i dont care though, they are AMAZING!!!

agreed, you can find a hi/lo kit on ebay for under $150 and is much more worth it and will last alot longer then any halogen

silver star are not much brighter, hids for a little more cost is a ton brighter

I have the 9005 ultras installed in my fog lights. VERY BRIGHT. Have no clue on the difference between them and the regular silverstars. The pirce wasn't any different so i bought the ultras.
