So I purchased the the silverstar bulbs for the head lights about a year and two months ago and the driver side went out two months ago and now two days ago the passenger side. I can't believe for $45 they only last for 1 year . When the first one went I thought oh I might have touched the bulb. Now that the second one went I called up customer service and they said yea they are only meant to last one year because of the element that they put in to make it bright and the coating on the glass causes them not to last long.

If I would haver know that then I wouldn't have bought them. On top of that when I was pulling the grill back to get the head light out the plastic grill cracked because it was cold out . Not enough to really notice it but I know it's there. Crate engine has them for $90.Guess I will have to save up.

 

Yeah I bought silverstars once on my last car and the cheapo-bulbs that came with the e-bay projectors were better looking (brightness, whiteness) than the silvers were.

 

i put silver stars in my projectors and i had one burn out a week after i installed them

 

I have silverstars in my projectors right now. I could care less if they only last for a year, i'm looking for HID's.

But when you install new headlights take the bulbs and do a very light rinse of alcohol to take off ALL grease from fingers that may have touched them during production

 

same thing happened to me...the $4 dollar bulbs at walmart have lasted a ton longer than the silverstars.

 

They just OE ones or they the bluish ones? I had good luck with my silverstars in my cougar.

 

im going on 2 years with mine and they have been in 2 difforent cars. and they still work fine.

 

silverstars dont do much for our cars anyway.
Our stock bulb is very very close to the same output.

worst money I ever spent too.

 

Thus why I'm running Nokya... e-bay special baby... cost $20... if they burn out... so what... I'll get some more.

 

I'm thinking about ordering Street Glows 9007's . The ones I had in my last car lasted for 2 years but I guess they pulled them off the shelf at the major stores because they were pulling too much amps. Pep boys told me I can order them through them . I installed the old ones back into the car to get me buy.

Does anyone know if this grill Cobalt SS Radiator Grille Upper 15276343 is the black one or the gray one that came with the stock Blue 05's

 

Try the GE Nighthawks.

 

i have them dont like them. so i took them out off. they lasted a day and didnt even use them at night. you want them?

 

what are the GE Nighthawks. and where do yuo buy them.

01sunfire01 why did you not like them and take them out?

 

i used my silverstars for a week tops, wasnt any brighted...so i traded them for an intake for my g.f's car

 

i didnt like how everyone was blue lol. they looked really nice in the car but i live where there is no street lights and the walk in the woods and put a road so i needed bright lightes. so i took them out and put the silverstars back in. there siting in my garage in there case if you want them there yours. ill take a pic of them in the car to if you want.

 

you have a photo of them while they were in the car at night ?

 

i did but deleted it. i can get new ones no proplem. do you mind what car they where in my sunfire has the same bulb size but the headlights are a not as hard to get out like the g5

 

If you have them in your sunfire then forget it . The effect would not be the same. But thanks for offering. Also thanks for the advice I guess I will keep searching

 

there not in the sunfire. never put them in there. i can put then in the G5 this weekend and take a pic of it

 

haha i've had the ebay special 8000k xenon's in my car for near 2 years now. $17.
