Nothing too amazing here... I thought I would post these because when I was considering to buy some silverstars I didn't really see many quality pics on the forums. I screwed up when I ordered them and these are actually the 9005 hibeam bulbs, so I chopped the plastic off and threw em in. These are pretty much temporary until this summer when I get money for some HID's. I got to drive on a dark road with no street lighting and I must say these are quite an upgrade... these are much brighter and the color is a lot more natural. You can tell a huge difference when looking at white lane markers\strips on a highway.

Left these pics full res so you can compare better.




Here's the stock tC bulbs on the left and the silverstar hibeam installed on the right

This one should be obvious but stock = right and silverstar = left

niice HUGE pics man

i had silverstars on my last car
and i like em
its the best alternative to HID IMO ^_^

 

silverstars are pretty much stock. little brighter and way too expensive. biggest pics i have seen on this site so far. can you say 1024x768 or 800x600

 

wow those are the biggest pics i have seen on this board! I had to work really hard to get both headlights to fit on my 1440 monitor!

oh? you didn't ask me? sorry.

they look nice...I'm rockin em too.

 

come on guys. the pics are not that big, and it is nice to see detail of the silverstars for all the people who are interested in getting them.
Just get dual 19' monitor and you can see them fine with hydravision.
Fully expanded,
across both,
while decreasing the image size.


tried to be serious but couldn't resist.

 

Might want to check this thread out....

pics are too small.

 

holy.. i can see these pics even from the bathroom while i'm taking a crap! (not really)

pretty bright looking. nice

 

These are 800 X 600. Do you want bigger pictures?

 

Sarcasm.

 

post edited for annoyancy of HUGE pictures.

 

hrmm...i was thinking about silverstars but then i saw the add for the HID's for $240.........but then i'd have to do a retro which i totally don't have time for...

 

You only got to do retro fits for certain HIDs. The Kaixen kits do NOT require a retro fit. They work perfectly out of the box. Best of all you don't need to adjust your headlights up or down.

 

Noobs! Use firefox, it will auto scale to window.

 

good topic. I want some silverstars for under $100. Is this reasonable? I think HIDs are the way to go, but I need something cheaper in the meantime, and would like to give my tC a different look on the road until then. Thx

My Silver Stars only cost me $58. That's for both high/low beams.

 

i think i had a defective set or somthing. the 1st one went out about 4 months after and now about 2 months after, the other one went out just tonight. im sure that i did not touch the bulbs when i installed them. im going HIDs now.

 

Do you have a product or model number? Also was it a buy off the shelf and put them in yourself deal? Thx

 

That last wallshot you said both are installed. The passenger side still looks dimmer than driver side..?
