I got a 94 accord and I put in the silverstars and it does look better but I also noticed that my headlights actually go off to the Right which kinda sucks. how can i get them to be dead center?

 

maybe it's time to check/adjust the headlight, see if it's lining up right or not

 

how i do that?
I had one of the techs at my job put in the headlights since I work at honda dealership.

 

to adjust up + down, theres a screw (phillips) near the upper edges of the headlight near the Lowbeams facing towards the bumper, and to adjust left + right, theres a slot u put the phillips into and turn it, the phillips acts as a sprocket kind of so turn slowly, its not precise but hope this helps.

 

thanks, so i guess i'm better off doin this at night huh?
but where are the slots for the left/right?

 

They should be on the inside (towards the bright bulb)

 

yea night times the only time u can see the beam pattern correctly, aim it against a even driveway towards a wall or garage, masking tape helps a bunch...and work on it till its even...

 

Be wary about the Silverstars. I put them in my '02 Accord back in July. The left one died back in October, and the right one just kicked the bucket last week. Very short lifespan.

And no, I did not touch the bulbs w/ my hands. I just bought a pair of PIAA bulbs off of ebay. I am hoping that these will last longer.

 

i had silverstars in my 4th gen headlights for a year, and they didn't blow out. i just replaced them cuz i got HID a month ago or so.

HID

 

HID...thumb up from me

 

i couldnt find the scews to move the headlights left or right, i found the one that makes the go up or down and that was the scew up above the low beam on top. where are the screws to move them in or out?

 

in and out? i dont think you can do that..

the left and right screw is there too, there's not much to look at so grab a flash light and keep looking

 

i did, i guess i have to try tomorrow.
does anyone know exactly what too look for?

 

There should be clips w/screws on the inside fo the housing (by the bright light) you may or may not have to take off your front grill to get at with a screwdriver....but keep looking, it shouldbe there

 

How long should the PIAA's last?

 

for my 94 to adjust left + right.. its where u put the highbeam bulb almost, its like a small hole u put a phillips into, and it uses the phillips like a sprocket, u need a long phillips to get to em...

(i.e if ur looking down over the driver side headlight its to the left of where u put the bulb u might need a flashlight to see the silver sprocket looking thing inside, but thats where the insert is located...)

piaa's silverstars etc etc do ok, just as long as you handle them right, and make sure you dont have leaks in your housing, condensation can ruin a bulb also...
