Anyone know id these bulbs are any good before I shove out money for Silverstar's. I'm not planning on going H.I.D since I don't want any cop troubles.

you get what you paid for, they look like just cheap generic color tinted bulbs.

buying cheap parts off ebay is kind of a risk.

i had very good experience with eurolite bulbs on my tc before i went HID

but four bulbs for twelve bucks? the guy has to have a profit marin in there somewhere...

just remember, you get what you paid for.

ebay in general is a risk...

my opinion? don't waste your money on them and just save up the money.

i had a pair of silver star bulbs, and despite my best efforts making sure i didn't touch the bulb with my fingers, one burned out in like two months. put in a pair of eurolite bulbs, the xenon fusion, and used them 24/7 (i always drive with my low beams on) for over 2 years before i took them out for my HID kits.

the eurolites were nice, didn't notice a difference in visibility at night compared to the silver stars, and they give it just a nice slight bluish tint when you look at them.
