That is a regular bulb.

The DRLs are dim until the signal is engaged. Then its dim, bright, dim, bright, dim, bright...... until you turn off the signal. When the signal is off they are dim. This is normal.

I think they are great. I had them in my Tahoe for about a year and then put them in my fiance's car when I got HID's. She has had them for almost a year now.

To the TA owners;
What part # are you using? Sylvania's site doesnt list silver stars as an option for my 99 TA. they only list h4703 a standard bulb as being available.

Sylvania doesn't make SilverStar headlights for the Firebird, but they do make SilverStar fog lights (which I have).

893 and 894 both work. The only difference is the angle on the connector , but they'll both work.
