Tristan swears up and down that the Silverstar Headlamps suck. I swapped them for my Halogens and they're A LOT better then my Halogens. What's the local opinion on the Silverstar bulbs?

*grabs popcorn* *grabs mike n ikes*

This is gonna be good.
btw, he didn't want to search for posts by 'vrg3' including "blue"

I can always tell a car with Silverstars because they look ricey. It's just that cheap blue tint that really turns me off. I use Xtravisions.

You replaced your stock 14-year-old bulbs with Silverstars?

Of course you'd see an improvement. The output of all bulbs degrades with age, so any new street-legal bulb would have shown an improvement.

But, you'd see much more of an improvement if you had used good bulbs instead of Silverstars.

For some technical information -- facts, not opinions -- on Silverstars, search for "silverstar*" with "vrg3" as the author.

I read your post. And while I do agree with the wavelength explanation; I feel that the benefits of driving at night outweigh the disadvantages to driving with them during rain.

And no, I didn't replace my stock bulbs, I replaced a set of Halogens. The $36 Silverstars are A LOT better then the Halogens I have.

And also, all of you seem to think that silverstars are blue. They're not. They're WHITE. My headlights are white, not blue or blue tinted. I tried that before, they suck.

This dead horse is beaten. If you look in the reviews forum, you will find my posts where I did a scientific, side-by-side, pepsi taste test with one Silverstar and one regular old bulb pointed at a wall, and there was no brightness difference, only color difference.

Silverstars are still halogen bulbs....

Well, I like my color difference then. It sets my Legacy apart from the like 3 other Legacies that live around here.

That's cool!

They don't suck out loud, but they aren't the best.

If you want an upgrade to the brightness of your headlights, try re-wiring them with relays. It has been proven that you get more light when you do that.

i put silverstars in my truck and they both went out within 3 months.
xtravisions nearly as bright n'cheaper
