New Sylvania SILVERSTAR lights installed

I installed my new SILVERSTAR bulbs, I like them, they are BRIGHT white, not ricey at all!

Here is a pic of the passenger side with the new Silverstar and the driver side with standard halogen.
The new bulb is much whiter, the pic doesn't do it justice, really.

when it gets dark, you should take a pic of the beam on a wall so we can compare the spread of the new bulb with the old one.

I had to order mine directly from Osram-Sylvania. AUTOZONE does not stock the 9003ST bulb, they told me they "couldn't even order it, because it isn't out yet..."
Guess that shows what some of those dudes know....

I just took my car out to compare, I see a noticeable difference. The high beams seem to have a narrower spread, but they do reach out there!

I feel it is money well spent.

Cost was only $54 for both, shipping included.

Just some info for all to consider. The brighter bulbs have less than half the operating life span canpared to the regular halogens. That holds true for any brand out there. I had Razos that costs $95.00 and they do the same. Bite the bullit and upgrade to HIDs.
