Silverstar Lights Suck
Silverstar Lights Suck Today guys i was the local auto parts store, and i picked up a pair of silverstar bulbs to put in my SS, since i heard alot of people liked them. Well i am pretty dissappointed they really didnt seem too much different then my stockers. So i am going to go return them and get my $53.00 back for 2 little bulbs. SOrry for the post i just had to vent.
well you can't really appreciate them during the daytime. Try them out when it gets dark out. 53 dlls is alot of coin, WalMart sells them for 40 dlls I believe. I bought some at PepBoys for 30 dlls after rebate.

I got them for my 86 MCSS but they were the sealed boxs not just the bulbs, they look pretty damn good for like 30 bucks a piece and poo'd on the delco bulbs.

You cant really tell a difference in daylight. Even if you pulled into the garage still not going to see it. Give them a chance. I have them in my car and they are money well spent. Yeah, I noticed a major differance with mine. I run them in both the Camaro and my Silverado, they are much brighter than stock. Are you looking for a bulb with a different color tint or something?

but I cant wait to check them out.EDIT: The blue tinted bulbs are horrible. They may look cool but you will not be happy driving with them. If you think they are OK in the dry wait till you get a rainy night. The rain will totally wash out the blue bulbs. I've had them all from street glow, nyoka(sp), eurolite, cool blue, apc, etc, etc. Out of all of them the Silverstar wins HANDS DOWN.

Yeah, the regular Silverstars look like stock when looking at them. I believe that there are Silverstars with a slight blue tint. I remember grabbing the wrong ones when I bought mine. They are deffinatly Sylvania's, I'm pretty sure they where under the Silverstar name.

Stand down the street and they are bright white with a slight hint of blue. Get right on them them look from the top at the housing and there is some purple.
I have them also and love them, much whiter light. You can really tell with the driving lights on, they're yellowish compared to the Silverstars. Do they have Silverstars yet for the driving lights?
Silverstars do exactly what they're supposed to...brighten up the road. They are just a completly brighter bulb all the way around and from far away they have a tint of blue. They appeared much whiter than stock IMO. I'd buy a set of them in a heartbeat, but it seems that the only sealed beams they don't make are the TA's. They make every other ******* sealed beam in Silverstars.
If you want them to look blue then just get those cheap shitty blue bulbs and you're set.

Lights don't usually bother me, but there's a guy around here that I'm pretty sure has an aftermarket HID kit on his Montero. He must have 10K bulbs because they are so intense that I had to almost completely stop in the road because they hurt my eyes so bad. That **** is just stupid and completely rude to anyone else that is on the road.
When I used to work at Pepboys I had people come in all the time and say they wanted brighter headlights. I took them straight to the silverstars everytime and I'd say 8/10 times the person was like "No I want ones that look blue", so I said ok, but they suck.

thanks for all the info guys, i tried them tonight when it was night out and you guys were right, they are much better, and i will be keeping them, until i can afford a real HID kit, does anyone know if they make anything for the fog lights for a camaro or no? thanks alot
