Silverstar Headlights
Well I had a pair of SilverStars in, but needed 1 bulb for replacement since my wreck.
Went to 3 different auto parts stores, and only one had the 9008/H13 in SilverStar, and they only had the 2-pack.
Got pissed - I don't want 2 bulbs - just one!
And, I can't figure out why Silvania won't make them in the Ultra.
Going back to my stock halogens for the time being..........
Looking for some reviews on the PIAA bulbs now:
PIAA H13
Kind of pricey @ $80

I have Silverstar heads and fogs, and I put those in almost a year ago. They're ok, but I don't find them to be any brighter than the stock bulbs.
Next time around I won't be spending that kind of coin on Silverstars ($80 for all 4). I've read some fairly technical reports on GE Nighthawks. Not only are they substantially cheaper, but they're actually supposed to be brighter. They're also supposed to better in rain at night whereas people complain about having difficulty seeing with Silverstars in those same conditions. I admit, the whiter light doesn't seem to cut through the rain at night as well as the stock bulbs did. The Nighthawks are similar to the stock light, but again, they're supposed to be brighter.
I'll give them a shot next time.

Just did a couple quick Google searches - can't seem to find the Nighthawks in 9008/H13...........
I guess Nighthawks are scratched off my list

I've never actually looked until you mentioned this.
Well, I drive truck, and unfortunately, I have to drive into New England every other night.
I am sick of ricers with cheap HID's that aren't aimed properly - it's just turned me off to them.
And don't get me started with fog lights.........
I was thinking the same thing when looking for the SilverStars - I mean how many 04-08 F-150's are out there...?????

Well damn! I just checked the GE site, and indeed it doesn't look like they have anything for the F150 from 04 up. Sheesh..when it comes to the F150 I just assume everyone makes something for them.
good deal. i love them vs the silverstars, i think they are 5000k or 5500k, alot brighter
