    sylvania silverstar bulbs

    What do you guys think about those lights,are they good or just crap?They say the bulbs are 4000k but Im not concern about the color I want a bright light with more visible area,but I don't know if a 4000k bulb will be brighter that a 4500k bulb,obviously the 4500k is going to be whiter but could the 4k give me more visible area?Sorry for my english guys.

    I put these on my last car that was a Lincoln Continental and I could tell the difference at night. In fact I bought them because my combo switch was messing up and I could not use my brights and they did the trick. Someone might know of some betters ones for the price though.

    are you talking about the sealed beam headlights? I have a set and I'm happy with them.

    I've got them as my high beams. They're not blue. But blue light is the hardest wavelength for your eye to see. They are a great white color, and look really bright at night. I recommend them over any blue garbage.

    i have them. putting them on was like going from candle to a freaking floodlight. they were that much brighter. definitely one of the better $40 i've spent on my car.

    Re: sylvania silverstar bulbs

    i've got the silver stars on my 3 g..... b 4 i had them i couldt even see on the high ways that dont have lights...... i noticed a huge difference..... i also have the bulbs on the family car.(94 cavalier) but i find they burn out VERY fast on the cavalier.... i've replaced each bulb like twice in the past year..... but they seem to be lasting pretty good on the 3 gee.... but the 3 gee has been parked since october .... so we'll see how long they will last now that the 3 gee is out again........
