I have now gone through 3 sets in 3 years of the regular(4100k) silverstars. The cost is too much for the time you get out of them. To be honest I'm looking for something a bit cooler maybe around 5000k but I don't know if there are stock headlamps that get that cool. Has anyone had any success with other brands of lamps that last a lot longer?

 

i always wanted to try the silverstars, but they were just too expensive. plus, like you, i hear lots of people complaining about their short life span.

i like the color of the sylvania Cool Blue headlamps, they give off a nice white light for a halogen, and are only $12 or so per bulb.

 

I had the same silverstars for 3 months but i stole them from wall mart cause i hate wall mart and they were OK. but the reason why i bet yours keep going out is because your touching them. next time buy a pair of gloves because the oil from our hands is bad for them and will kill their life.


But SCREW silverstars. go to pepboys and pick these up for same price their A LOT bluer and ALOT clearer. i compared one silverstar to one of these and it made the silverstar look yellow lol.

Well i cant find them on the pepboys website cause their site sux *** but go their and they should have them. they say their blue something but their bright *** white with a very light blue tint. their RIGHT below HID kits.

 

i believe their by pilot.

 

Pepboys has HID kits?

and Travis; stop stealing

we're always saying fck thieves they should die but then you do it? wtf

 

he was comparing the lights that he is talking about, however cannot even locate a retailer(LOL), to HIDs i.e. "theyre just a step down below HIDs in light output", not saying that Pepboys has HIDs. however i did have some HIDs, but i took them out and put my Silverstars back in. havent had one bit of trouble out of mine, maybe im lucky though

 

Don't get those, the light output is absolutely horrible.

First of all, stop stealing you damn scumbag.

Secondly, since you're a thief i'm not going to be nice to you. It's called WalMart, not Wall Mart. They don't sell walls.

You are correct though, do not touch the glass, and the Silverstars should last a long time.

You can't compare halogens to HIDs. They're apples and oranges. Also, there are different intensities of HID, so which are you comparing them to then?

 

Thanks guys. No I dont ever touch the glass on any of my lamps so that's not the issue. I'm just done paying the price they want for them and only having them last a year. I have some stock replacements in right now which are God awful but what are you gonna do? May I'll try the silverstar ultras. They may have a better life span. I dunno. I just hate the yellow stockers but they work.

 

Well shoot........I just bought the Siverstars a few days ago......hope they last longer than a few months..................

 

I will never buy silver stars again they suck for their lifetime

 

why dont you get some HIDs?
my friend and i went to the junk yard and got some HIDs off a benz.(box, wires, everything)
we still need to install them though
cant wait to see how they look

 

I loved my Silverstars. It was a bummer when they burned out after 2 years though. Isn't there some ebay store that sells them for $20 a pair?

 

the reason being why some people dont want to install HIDs, is because the only way to get decent output from them is from a proper retrofit. i've had the plug and play HID kit before, and the light's intensity was nice, but it was also very scattered since it was in a halogen headlamp/reflector. now i'm back to using regular halogen bulbs. plus, with plug and play HID kits, you usually end up blinding the cars in front of you due to the horrible glare.

 

silverstars are overpriced, just get hid's

 

i had a set of silverstar for 3 years and finnaly tha driver side burned out

 

Look here you scum bag, Do you realize how much of a screwed up business walmart is? under paying workers for years on in. screw walmart! their the Richest business ever. right above bill gates. you think 40 bux is gonna hurt them?

 

*sigh*
I guess "the principle" means nothing to some people.

 

I know they are f'd up but didn't your parents ever teach you not to steal? It doesn't matter how messed up they are, you're not suppose to steal.

 

x2 stealing is wrong

 

Agreed, but screw wall mart.

 

yea f**k walmart everything is to over priced their logo is always low prices every day

 

^ aye i love wal mart!!

 

i hate wal mart too, but it must be like a communist cult hypnosis or something because i always find myself there buying loads of crap that i dont need... errr. but they are pretty uber retarded. I say we all start a boycott against wal mart- no buying, NO STEALING, no nothing.

 

Well the problem with walmart is that they don't pay their employees enough to be above the poverty line, like someone else said. That's why their prices are so low... they have less operating costs.
Because of the low costs and conveniency, they destroy small businesses. I have witnessed this happen throughout my life in the city I live in. There are now tons of empty buildings in Titusville, where businesses used to be.

anyway, we're kinda like threadjacking so we should stop.
