Default bored tonight, took some pics of my silverstar bulbs and nifty cluster mod

Heres some pics, not too shabby for $40, definately more light than stock....And yea yea, they aren't HIDs and I don't plan on wasting $400 on lights anytime soon






My nifty cluster mod, just took off this little orangish plastic piece up under the top of the cluster so I can actually see my gauges




There ya go, nothing special, but it gave me something to do for 20 minutes tonight

well actually if those are the 9006's, they only put out 1000 lumens, which is the same as the stock 9006 bulbs.. so in that case you wasted $40 on lights instead of "wasting" $400 on HID which would have been 3x as bright.

I know I'm not blind, when I 1st installed them I did a comparison between stock and silverstar......big difference mostly in depth.......sorry, didn't have my digital camera back then when I bought em........but if I can find a stock headlight bulb laying around I will go take a pic and show the difference

Don't say your showing off your lights and cluster, you know you just wanted to show off your night shooting skills

the difference is the color temp.. the silverstars are 4000K so they're almost the same as HID so the light u get is basically pure white like HID..

I have the same bulbs.. there the closest to HID's you can get. Be carefull they foged my headlamp and melted the mounts but they look good until it happens, if it happens. I replaced the headlamps and so far no melting just alittl foging....

Silverstars look nothing like HID. When you get HID's you'll see the difference between silverstars and the real HID's.

Silverstars dont have that piercing brightness that HID's have when youre looking right at them!!

I'd rather get the Silverstars over those cheesy Xenon bulbs any day though...

It looks good! Great night time shots btw!!
