I am going to buy these bulbs tomorrow from Canadian Tire. Just had 2 quick and easy questions.

1. How do these perform in comparison to a real HID setup? or am i better of doing the whole conversion? where i live there is a lot of fog and lack of street lights.
2. Is there a specific set of silverstars i should buy?

If there is a lot of fog in your area, buy or do a HID kit. Silverstars are good, but my MTEC are better, IMO. For the fog you should invest in fog lights. Most say white looks better in fog lights, but I think yellow looks better and cuts through the light better also. Hope this helps!

 

no bulb is going to compare to H.I.D.

It's just the "look" of HID, not the output

 

silverstars are crap...i bought them for $20 a bulb....2 months later, the low beam burns out....keep the stock bulb, you cant go wrong...

 

they are nice, but they dont last too long. i had just told people on this board my gf's last a while, then bam, it popped. just stick with sylvannia xtra vision ones. or pick up a pair of gold bulbs from! stock wattage, and very cheap!

i find that yellow lights are more clear on white/ light colored pavements. i have plasma glow yellow headlights (9005 conveR in my dc)

 

They are a tad bit better than stock. But they don't last long. You can't even tell the difference between SilverStars and Cool Blues. Might as well stay stock or get those "30% More" bulbs by GE or Sylvania (Sylvania's line is called Xtra Vision). Since you're posting in this forum I would assume you'll need 9003 or H4.

 

yeah mines only lasted around 7 months. they're pretty good bulbs though.

 

i like the sylvania sylverstars just fine... 3 months and counting.... ???

 

they dont sell those at Canadian Tire... they are illegal in Canada, BUT if u have found a Canadian Tire that sell's them plz PM me with the location

 

Im on 9months w/ my silverstars
zero problems and I drive more time in the dark than I do in the day

k!

 

i have silverstars on my car. they are totally useless in the fog. there was one foggy night where i was driving with my high beams on (patches of fog), and came up to the fog. instant white wall. i switched to the low beams...still a white wall. turned off my headlights, almost better than with them on. so here am putting along at 10 mph in the fog. if mine burn out fast, im gonna be pissed. but if when they go, im just going with the xtra vision.

 

i liked my silverstars....but didnt use them for more than a month. light output is good

well if ur car doesnt come with HID's its illegal to modify them to have hids or have bulbs that look like hids... thats why on the sylvania web-site it says WILL NOT SHIP TO CANADA !

 

obviously it dont compare to HIDs...but its better than stocks...

 

I have had those and I now have some GE 9003sb Bulbs from walmart. Less than 15 dollars for the pack, and they are just as white as the silverstars. Have lasted longer too.

Your wires may fry or the connector plug may melt.

Stick with stock wattage bulbs. Or upgrade your wiring harness. My friend had Nokyas before. El Cheapo is all I can say.

My gf's Silverstars lasted about a year.

man they are not illigel in canda!! why not instead of looking on the website go to a c/t and look for them.
- i have cool blues on my car and they are really good,i have had them since september. my friend had the silverstars on his car for maybe 3 months max and the low beams burnt out.

 

i bought some silverstars a few weeks ago...and when i put them in, the light output was YELLOW...they were a lot brighter then stock, but they were really yellow so i returned them and haven't bought another pair since...i'm thinking of buying another pair, to see if the new ones are still yellow or not
