I was thinking of Philips...what do you guys think?

 

silverstar, they seem like a good brand and legit. I would use PIAA for fogs tho cuz i've seen some and they look GOOD

 

Silverstars. They last pretty long IMO

 

German Silverstars

 

Sylvania/Osram Silverstar - the US bulbs have a slight blue coating, the European do not (per the Sylvania site).

SilverStar FAQ

 

Osram Silverstars are only available in European sizes (H1, H4, etc.). The tC uses the US standard 9006 / 9005 bulbs.

For best lighting performance, use a clear bulb. The Sylvania Xtravision will yield a 20% output in light output over a standard bulb. The GE Nighthawk range of bulbs offer a slight light increase over the Xtravision but again are more expensive.

Also be advised that bulbs that tout an increase in output will have a trade off in bulb longevity.

 

Cut the tab off of 9005 and stick it in your low beams! It's supposed to not last that long bc it's a high beam bulb but it's lasted for years on my intergra..plus my teg has projectors for the glare factor...

 

just one more question...how long are regular (stock) halogen bulbs last

 

It varies by MFG and usage, but here are comparative specs for the various Sylvania 9006 bulbs, including the SilverStars...

I've had my Silverstars for almost 2 years now...

-THE DON

 

I just put Silverstars in my SSM, but was having a little problem putting in the driver side high beam, did I miss something or did I just notsee what I was doing cuz it was dark out and I had no light other than a BIC?
