    Sylvania SilverStar H4 (9003) Bulbs

    These bulbs are awesome. I finally got around to replacing stock bulbs after having them in for nearly a year because my old VisionPlus bulbs died.

    I got the Silverstars at Auto Zone for ~$40. The light output is amazing. It's not the blue "HID" **** either. It's pure, white light. Driving along in the night and pulling up side-by-side with other cars who have regular halogens is pretty cool because the white light put out by the Silverstars is brighter and shines further down the road.

    I recommend these bulbs to everyone.

      I was thinking about those as well... the Daniel Stern made bad light (no pun intended... OK, a little pun) of them on his site:



      Specifically, look at the section at the bottom titled "Why do you specify "Outside North America only" on the SilverStar bulbs?"

          I had them on my last car and loved them... just waiting for some extra cash I haven't already set aside for something else.

            Are the xenon or halogen?

              They are still halogen bulbs...xenon or HID bulbs requires a ballast and a totally different type of bulb.

                Bah. I didn't realize the SilverStars we get are not the same as the rest of the world gets. Oh well I still really like the bulbs I have. They were a definite improvement over my old bulbs.

                I will try and take a night pic sometime to show how good the beam is.

                  I bought the Osram Silverstar H4's from: www.powerbulbs.com
                  As already stated they don't have the blue tint of the Sylvania Silverstars. They are the best Halogens I've used, so far, in terms of light output.

                    very interesting article. Negatize: do those bulbs have a lumens rating on them or the box? or a lifetime rating? what's the warranty?

                      redfrye,

                      The silverstar bulbs are Halogen but they contain Xenon gas. This is listed on the box that the Osram Silverstars came in.

                      glyph,

                      There is no lumens rating, lifetime rating or warranty info on the Osram box that I received my Silverstars in.

                          Lil Freek,

                          Re: Powerbulbs. The service was excellent and the shipping was really fast. You shouldn't have any problems with them.

                            I got them Silverstars on my car too. Very good light. I hope they last me a while.
