I'd like more headlight than the OEMs on this car and I have been looking into Sylvania SilverStar which claims White light after I saw a tv commercial.

There isn't any mention of overheating in the FAQs that I see but I wonder if these will work and not melt the housings, the TV commercial looked a lot brighter than my lights seem to be.
I also don't want lights that really look bluish.

Anyone with experience with these or other improved halogen lights? I don't want to spend the $$ for HIDs!

 

I have Silverstars in LOW and HIGH beams.

They are a brighter white then the stock OSRAMS.

They will not melt anything. You will be fine.

Honestly HID's can be had for cheap now. $240-$260 or so.

When you consider that Silverstars are $30 a pair. So if you do LOW and HIGH beams, that is $60 righ there.

 

S70, i use HBs so little I really only need the lows, and the highs actually seem better than the oem lows, maybe it is just that both are on!
thks for the info. I was concerned they might be too hot.

 

I would save your money and get HID's. You will be much happier. And 4300-5500 K HID's will look great and put out the most light.

 

S70, might have to do just that with the HIDs as the SilverStar Ultra's aren't made for S40 lowbeams yet apparently I found out today! thks
