is there anyone out there who has bought the Silverstar Ultras for their balt yet? i have a set of luminics but im thinkin about gettin the silverstars cuz i hear they supposedly work a lot better. just wanted to hear some opinions before i go spend the $50 on them.

edit: or if neone has any other suggestions for a good set of aftermarket headlights please post them up. (no i dont wanna get HID's cuz i dont feel like making a $500 project outta projector headlights and a HID kit)

 

i got them for free from a buddy and there a little brighter i light them

 

I like them. They look better then stock for sure

 

just go out and get the piaas. i know its not on topic but they are the brightest and you wont be dissapointed

 

I use the regular Silverstars which are whiter and brighter than stock--I had one burn out (after a year and a half...not bad life for an aftermarket bulb)

The salesman at AutoZone tried to sell me the Silverstar Ultra, and said they're even better than the ones that I use--I was low on cash though so I didn't get them. Kinda wish I would have, though.

 

i was thinkin that to its just hard to stomach spending $80 on a set of lights when i could just a new set of the luminics ultra whits for $25....

 

They're all good. Just a bit whiter and brighter than the regular Silverstars. Hmm, I think I still have my set of Ultras that I can't even use anymore since I've got the Halo headlights.

 

dissapointing IMO.
the improvement over stock was minimal at best.
and not nearly worth the cost considering if your lucky you might get 12 months out of them.

 

well the way it looks i think im just gunna stick with my luminics ultra whites. i actualy had the regular silverstars in my ranger before i got the cobalt and wasnt impressed with them. i was just hoping to hear that the ultras were better then the regulars. o well....

 

i had the regular silverstars and decided to upgrade to the ultras, there was no difference, the regulay siverstars had a bluish tint, and the ultras didnt. they were both equally bright. dont waste money on the ultras, the regular ones even look cooler.

 

i had silverstars in my ranger too, didnt care for them. my father in law has a set in his 00 s10 and there was a big difference.

 

Yea.. I have them in the Balt.. the Philips Crystal Vision I had weren't bad at all either before.. but for the price, the Ultras aren't worth it.. maybe its a Cobalt thing?

but w/e..

 

As long as you get the $30 set and not the $20 set Silverstars are good. The $20 set will burn out quicker, and also the $30 set can be returned if they burn out within a year.

 

My Silverstar Ultras have been great for about 4 months now. Last night the low beam filament burned out in one light. I emailed Sylvania, they have a policy that within one year they will replace the bulbs, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Give the Luminics a try, the $50 I paid for SSU's was not worth it.

 

bump. i edited my first post too

 

The money you spend on those could go to a quality HID kit... and you will NEVER be disappointed with one of those...

 

Agreed.

but if you buy HIDs make sure you buy HID projectors too.
Dont cheap out and just put a hid kit in factory reflectors.

 

k this is very true. without me having to search and hopefully someone can answer this in this thread. how much money would i end up spending on a set of black projectors and a HID kit??

and yes i completely agree with that. if ur gunna do something you mine as well do it the right way!!!!!

 

A quality HID kit will run you somewhere between $150-250

and I think projectors are under 200 now arent they?

You could always do a retrofit too it can be done cheaper than projectors.

 

hmm so i can sell the black headlight housings i have and my stock headlight housings and then save up the other 200 bux..... we might be going somewhere with this.....

i have another question i have for you anomalous since u seem to pop up in every thread about lights. lol

how are the lights that are in the projectors? are they an upgrade from the stock headlights?

 

no. the bulbs that come with the projectors are just like that oem silvania walmart kinda ****.

HIDs or a quality bulb in projectors is a must.

 

I have a set of Silverstar Ultras, brand new, never installed. I'll sell them to whoever wants them for $25 shipped.

 

well i bought a set of black headlight housings that i have to get aimed cuz im having a hard time doin it myself. if i get them fixed then ill stick with those for a while and try to find a good cheap bulb that works better then the crappy stockers.

and if not i guess ill start saving up for projectors and a HID kid. and down the road when i have the money ill decide if i really want them or not.

 

i have them, they work good, high beams rock

 

Im using Nokya 2500k Ultra Yellows and they look sick on the road.
