Default Silverstars

Hey guys, I wanted to put some Silverstars in the Pathfinder cause I've heard good things about it. But the Pathfinder's bulbs are H4, and I only see that Silverstars come in 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007. Is the 9004 for me? I dunno I'm a newbie at this. Help would be greatly appreciated

The pathfinder's headlamp is a regular headlights then the same bulb its a high beam. SPW makes a Hid kit that makes bulbs like that, so maybe I'll look into it.

wrong as far as i know. h4=9003.

my usdm 93 civic headlights take a h4. number wise, an h4 bulb is equivalent to a 9003. thats what i used when i had my silverstars. they should sell 9003's

they r ok. its still halogen .

Sport Compact Car magazine did a good article on the Silverstar bulbs in their, "Project Civic" section (January 2003 edition, volume 15, no. 01)). They swapped the stock H4 bulbs out with the Silverstars and took comparison pics. The light output of the Silverstars was far greater than the stock halogens, but the color was near identical to the stock bulbs. or ? I choose .
