good upgrade |
Nice!!!!!!! |
thanks. i havent driven the car yet. i just put them in about an hour ago. so i think im gonna go for a lil drive here in a minute. thanks for the compliments guys...ur makin my car blush. |
i think they are just bulbs. i have the older model bulb in my headlights now. i think once i do the whistler mod to them i will try out the new bulbs. |
yeah, just the bulbs. got them at wal mart for $19 each. i dont think thats bad for how bright they are and i have heard nothing but good things about them. |
i actually havent read anything about that. from what ive read as long as you dont touch the bulb while installing they should last quite a while. but i guess time will tell. |

^^ thats what im saying once you have HID's you can never go back to stock |
haha. i would if i had the money brother. from what i understand they are a little on the expensive side. i just got this car a couple months ago and im trying to get all the retarted shit that was done to it fixed one at a time. its coming along pretty good. just need a few other things done and it will be pretty decent. |
Can anyone else confirm/disprove the notion of these bulbs burning out fast? Thinking about getting them now! |
My brother got me some of the exact bulbs and I love them. Are your lenses hazy at all? Because when the lenses are clean the lights really shine. Good choice and from I read I guess you can get an H.I.D kit for around $150 off Ebay. |
i have not heard of this problem except when people touch the bulbs while installing them. so DONT TOUCH THE BULB!! |

my lens are hazy. i bought some stuff from wal mart and put it on there, but they didnt do shit. is there anything out there yall recommend. cuz mine are hazy as hell. thanks. |
does shine more |
Sylvania SilverStar bulbs have a very short lifetime, because the filament is overdriven to get a legal amount of light despite the blue glass. http://www.bmwcca.org/members/AM/Tem...6_Light&page=1 “The Sylvania 9005 “SilverStar” highbeam bulb is advertised as making “whiter and 20% brighter” light, and this is supposed to improve the driver’s ability to use the light….What is obvious in comparing the “SilverStar” to the standard Sylvania high-beam bulb is that the SilverStar makes less light than a standard bulb. The difference at the brightest point in the beam is 77 foot-candles from the SilverStar, and 109 footcandles from the normal high-beam bulb. This equates to ~23% less light.” Now yes you’re going to say “well I have them in my car, and they look brighter.” I had them in my car at one point in time as well. And yes I agree that they do “look” brighter. But the fact is they are not. The Syl. SS has a blue coating on the bulb. The blue coating does make the light look a blueish tint just as those “xenon bulbs.” But, basically the blue coating reduces the light output of the bulb. Remember, never will a blue or purple tint on the bulb “improve” the light output. also: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...good/good.html and http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=954736 |
I got some Jdm type, hyperwhites off ebay for 9 buck for all 4 and they are 100 watters. look as bright as those or briter!! |
Looks good bro...:D |
They look great. As far as the short life span the ultras are supposed to last longer than the original silverstars. Did you get the fog light bulbs as well? |
