Where to buy?

Im looking for some H11 from Sylvania. I want to buy some Silverstar H11 but no where around here has them. I can get my 9007s but does anyone know where to order them online or will autozone or anyone order them for me?

I've never heard of them.

Get Sylvania Silverstars. They are well known for a reason

Hate to be a naysayer, but I've had nothing but problems with the silverstars.

You pay that much for bulbs you would expect them to last longer than a couple of months.

I also had problems with silverstars, i actually had them blow up in side my headlight casing in less than 6 months of use. I don't honestly think thats suppose to happen. Not to mention because of the explosion that happened inside the headlight casing, I was kinda forced to buy a new headlight due to the black burnt film it left in there.

*cringe*

I would have called Sylvania and tried to get them to buy me the headlight. There is no way that it supposed to happen.

with alot of the silverstar bulbs if you touch the bulb itself it will cause the oils from your fingers, that got left on the bulb, to heat up and cause the bulb to burn out and even explode

I'm not sure what your budget is, but if you've got a lil extra money to spend, you can get a much brighter light.

The lowest 'k' is a yellow light meant for fog lights, but in general the lower the 'k' the whiter and brighter the light. I actually have a set of the 6000k single beam 9007 bulbs.

For the base model cobalt, the only kit available is the single beam HID kit. I called the sales at xenonking and that's what I was told.

I'll try to find my before and after photos for you guys.

i saw some HID low/Halogen High kits so u keep your highbeams, but I honestly wouldnt know how realiable they are. Its basically a HID bulb with a Halogen bulb glued onto the base of it.

I don't think I would want to have a halogen bulb glued to my set of $340 HID's...it seems like the bulb would over-heat and possible blow up or burn out...
