Anyone try the Sylvania Silverstars? I was thinking about it, but what differences do they make really. Obviously noticed at night, what do they do? I don't want them to be euro headlights like a benz, those are annoying and I don't want to annoy.

 

They're not annoying like a Benz, I think they're great. They're more of a whiter light than the stock bulbs, sounds goofy I know. They are brighter, and help you see much better. I can't see how I ever did without them. Best $40 I ever spent, and I got a rebate

 

I was pretty sure the Sylvania's were good, a different look head on, not that blue crap. So your saying it's (pardon the pun) a night and day diff during night driving? I really don't mind the stock, every car I've had and gotten used to it I guess, but if it makes that much of a diff, maybe I'm in too!

 

They make a great difference, I can't stand driving or riding a car at night now without them...

 

Hey Zaairman,

I have heard that the bulbs don't last long, usually around 1 year. How long have you had yours? Are they easy to install?

 

I've had my Silverstars for 2 years now and they've been in 3 different vehicles with no problem.

 

My next question is, how about the foglights? Do they match up to them in color say? I don't want to mix that way, or maybe there is some foglight to compliment these? Maybe these comments are stupid or minor, but something to address I guess. The foglights seem to have a yellowish to em like the headlights do, that's why I ask. Thanks for the help so far, and it's good to see they have good life to em too.

 

They are good bulbs...they are bright, and just plain white in color...i recommend!

 

I've only had mine a few months...and they're easy as crap to change...it's the same as changing a normal headlight bulb...

 

well worth it. gives you a much whiter and brighter light

 

Do you guys get a lot of cars flashing their brights at you?

 

Oh well, f### them if they can't take a joke, right? I get people flashing their brights at me now, then I do and they back off. My old ladies sunfire gets it even worse and the lights are aimed proper, as far as I can tell. I bet people will flash more though!

 

Sylvania makes a replacement bulb for the factory fog lamps as well.

They are 42 W instead of 21 W, which seems to work fine by the number of posts with people using them.

The silverstar bulbs that I put in my '01 are still in there ( dad has it now ) and it even took a front end hit with them on.
I want to say they are about 3 or 4 years old now ( dad might be replacement them soon ?? )
I guess how long they last depends on how much you use them.
I didn't have DRLs in my '01, so that helped out ( in the 99-03 the DRLs were on the low beam element, on the 04+ they are now on the high beam element ).

 

they make the matching fog light bulb as well. i installed all 4 at once. i also modded my headlight switch so that i can turn on the fogs with just the park lights on.

haha ya and when i do i flash them back and blind them.

 

Anyone know the part number for an '06 Screw sylvania bulb?
