The headlights on my wife's '99 EX sedan really suck especialy on low beam. Would Sylvania Silver Star Ultra bulbs help? Will they draw to much and melt my wiring harness?

As long as you get the correct bulb which is 60/55W. You will be fine.

ID like to recommend the Philips X-Treme bulbs.
Or check out the GE nighthawks. Myself id stay away from sylvania.

Thanks I did re-post! What do you have against the Silverstars. Pep Boys is having HALF off this week on Silverstar Pairs $25 instead of $50!! Wanted to get them on sale

They are for mainly looks, they are tinted bulbs and tinted bulbs=less output. So you should either re-aim the headlights if they are off or get HIDs.

How can they claim 20% brighter then??

silverstars arent tinted...or that i have noticed. i have some in my car and they are brighter than anything i have ever used.

Padawan

Rather than the Silver Stars, I'd choose either the Philips X-treme Power or the new Osram Night Breaker.

shortlid

Sylvania and Osram are the same company??

Padawan

Not exactly. The operate in different markets and have different product lines.

Check Walmart for GE Nighthawks. They are the only store I've seen carry them.

If you'd like Philips X-Treme Power, Osram Silverstars, or Osram NightBreakers ... order from here:

I looked at Wally world today still nothing but regular Silverstars

Padawan

The easiest thing to do is to order form a site such as PowerBulbs or Autolamps Online.

Will the H4 bulbs referenced in this thread fit a 98 DX hatch?

Yes, H4 and 9003 are interchangeable, and are the appropriate bulb size for all 92-00 Civics (with the exception of the JDM 92-95 which take the H4H).

vrrodri

cool! I was not sure since the manual states HB2 and the website indicated a XP9003 which was not listed on their own application table.
THANKS
