Thinking about them..For those who have them what do you think? What about the ones for the fogs? Just looking for opinions.

Thanks

 

Hi J15BIG I, had Piaa Super Whites. They work ok however just picked up Silvania Silver Star bulbs. They are by far the best bulbs I, have used. Plus they cost less than the Piaa bulbs!! Hope this helps ya out. Artie

 

What artie said^^

 

How much do the Silvania Silver Star bulbs run... for both my night lights and fog lights?

-Mike

 

They were $24.99 at auto zone in NY. Artie

 

$24.99 each. So, if you do the heads and the fogs, you're looking at about $100. The silver stars are incredible.

The HID systems are rated at 4100 degrees Kelvin (light rating). The silver stars are 4000 degrees Kelvin. IMO, $100 is a small price to pay for light quality that's nearly that of a $850 Xenarc HID mod.

That's a link to Osram Sylvania's website. They manufacture the Xenarc HID systems as well as the Silver Stars. Check it out. It's a very informative site.

9007 for headlights right? whats the number for fogs?

 

9005, or 9006 for the fogs, i have 9005 in my fogs, they are really bright, the 9006's have a coating on that makes them less bright, and probably less heat to melt the fogs. The 9006's are used usually as the low beam on cars, and 9005's as high beams

 

Greetings L owners, i do not have an L, BUT...a 9007 is a 9007 right? So, if you want to check out some comaprison pics, check out my MODS gallery, i have compariosn pics of the headlights (9007) and the upgrade to 9005 fogs with the Sylvania SilverStar bulbs, i LOVE 'em! alsohave pics of an upgrade to 55w halogen back-up bulbs, they are sweet, hope this helps, thanks and lemme know what u think of the pics, feel free to e-mail for questions....-medic

 

artie54, what is the wattage rating on those bulbs? Are they higher than stock?

 

I beleive those bulbs are 55/65 watts,,, higher then stock but still should not burn out your wiring harness,,, now 100 watt bulbs,,, yeah,, those will,, learned that from my own experiences.

Lifespan?

In motorcycles, those things have a greatly reduced lifespan compared to regular H4s. It seems 3-6 months is common. At 3x the price, I'd expect better.

 

be careful on the hyperwihites for the fog lights the outter piece that covers the blubs turns like a burnt cover after a short while i'm on my second pair of fog light assembly and there not cheap

 

I like to drive pretty fast at night, so was trying to get the Brightest bulbs i could, Have 80w100 watt superwhites in the L now and to tell the truth it is VERY hard to tell them apart from the stock 55w65 (low-high) got them from (autobulbdepot.com) and after some disscusion with them on why i could not tell they were brighter, they said that the stock Ford lenses don't reflect the bulbs very well However i have NOT had any wiring trouble with the 80-100 bulbs,, But these Sylvania bulbs , now these i might be interested in,,, but where to get them in MINN?? BTW the superwhites where about $20. apiece including shipping,, Greg,,,

 

got mine from performance products...QUICK shipping, decent prices, also found out the Advace Auto carries them, if there is one near you...- hope this helps!- medic
