i just recently put in the silverstar ultra 9005/9006 bulbs and for soem reason its not as bright or has the bluish tint like the ohter pics i have seen on this forum. does it require some time for the coloration to set in?

 

Well they're definitely not going to be "blue." If anything it's a white light. I'm running them ATM as well. I'm very happy with them, but if you were expecting some sort of "HID" color, these are not really for you. They're really just supposed to be a brighter/whiter light than OEM.

Plus, night pics of headlights are kind of difficult to really do and usually you won't be able to see exactly the same thing one your own anyways b/c cameras play light tricks on you.

 

yea silverstars only offer a brighter, whiter light then the yellow bulbs that come stock in the car. Silverstars are your only legal alternative to the stock light output because they are not bright enough to blind traffic in a halogen housing. If you want to go with an HID kit, head over to the sponsored sales forum, but they are illegal.

 

Try this mod with them - http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t71341.html

 

That is a real good idea. But can the car/fuses handle the extra power coming from the additional 20W (10W more x 2 bulbs)? It's from a Corolla FAQ. I'd be a little less skeptical if I saw it on a Camry FAQ. Has anyone tried it on their tC?

 

Yes.... It works on our cars also... NO Problem.. as long as they are 9005 / 65w...
I done it on my heads and fogs.

after you install it, and
find too many ppl flashing you,( too bright ) all you have to do is adjust your headlight down abit.

Good luck,
Keith.

 

wow that looks like a good mod i might have to try that. But back to the post i have the Sylvania Cool Blues and love them they are reallly white at night. Im not sure which set are whiter or more blue cool blues or silverstars

 

first I went for the after market head lights. Then I did the mod for the 9005 to 9006. Finally I just broke down and bought some HIDs. I made the right choice with the HID's. As cheap as HIDs are now and days, just buy some HIDs. I bought mines from Operatic and they work awsome.

 

seem bright too me. im using 9005 cool blues in my LB and SSU in my highs, modded ready to swap just incase my cool blues burn out
