does anybody own the silverstar bulbs on the balt. Hows the output with the stock lights and how do they work just plug and play?

 

They're just plug and play. A bit brighter, but not super bright so you won't blind oncoming drivers. I'm happy with them. Even with stock housing and eyelids, the light output is great.

 

they are really not much of an improvement. the stock halogens are just as bright.

 

just bought the silverstar ultras like 3 days ago. i was disappointed when i turned them on in the daylight because they didnt look a WHOLE lot different. then it got dark out and my opinion changed. they are noticeably whiter, and unlike some cheaper bulbs i have run before the light output is actually damn good. it does seem they are brighter and project light further. good enough review?

on another note, its always kinda bothered me about the headlight bulbs being much yellower than the fogs, and now they are the same whiteness

meh, the ultras are brighter

 

Yea, they are. I'm happy with the ultras.

 

i have driven around just to look at the whiteness in like store windows, is that weird? im a loser

 

I love mine. They are an improvement over stock, but I will soone be purchasing halo projectors and converting them to HIDs.

 

ya that helped that would be nice if there the same whiteness as the fogs i hate how there different. ill be getting projectors later on with hid but fiugred it would help for the next few months till i get the money for em i needa mod the car a lot more before i get the projectors.

 

def. worth the money then

 

hows the install of them is it hard and how long you think it will take?

 

takes about 15 minutes or so, i had to pull the headlight assembly out, but if you have tiny hands you could do it without pulling them. its pretty easy to get out the headlights, just watch the paint on your front bumper

 

alrite well im 6-3 220 so my hands arent that tiny but if it doesnt take that long it shouldnt be a big problem then

 

Just like mostly everybody else said, they are a little bit whiter and quite a bit brighter. I think that they actually seemed a little bit whiter after I painted my headlights black. BTW the Silverstar Signal bulbs w/ the amber lens removed looks soooooo hot.

I have Silverstars...the only problem is that a headlight bulb will buirn out every few months or so.........I've replaced my driverside bulb once since having them, and jusr had to replace my passenger side last week.......and I've had them for about 6 months.....so htey will burn out but they're not too expenisve to replace so I wouldn't worry and they look great

 

thanks man for the pics im def picking those up tomorow nite

 

Very happy with mine. Quick easy change, and they now match the color of the fog lights. Brighter and whiter. I've had mine in for about a year now, with no issues.

 

I always hear everyone say that but I haven't had any burn out on me. Maybe I'm just lucky...

Yea it looks pretty sick. I noticed that you have an '06, so to get the true effect you would need to open up the lights and remove the amber lens, otherwise it would be a waste (you would still see amber when the bulb is off).

X2.... this is definatley the way to go... IMO i would also get rid of the orange side marker and clear it tho... looks bad ass

 

I had some, but I never got around to installing them.........or even opening the box, lol. I ended up selling them to Jigyflyuk at a meet.

 

Thats why they made the new Ultra, its only real gain over the regular one is much longer life. I have a pair for sale if anyone wants them, brand new, $25 shipped.

 

I put Silverstars in my projectors about a month or 2 ago. Both are already burned out......I'm very disappointed with them. Color wasn't much different, and they weren't brighter than stock. Waste of money IMO.

 

damn, thats no good

 

has anyone put them in the projectors? I was thinking about doing that lol

 

DallsCobalt said he put them in his projectors and they both burnt out.

 

I'm gonna put em in my projectors, I had them in my stockers and they kicked butt. I just hafta wait till I can afford 2 pair!
