i was toying with the idea of maybe puttin in some HIDs for my box, but then i saw the sylvania silverstar and sylvania silverstar ultras on sale at pepboys. they also had some other off brand ones that said "like HIDs" that had a more blue bulb and the tip was silver looking.

how much brighter are these? anybody got pics or comparisons? does the silver looking tip make the bulbs brighter?

 

all i got to say is if you got the money, go HID...it is truely night and day, i have 2 sets in my box, my headlights and foglights are HID and even with the 35% tint on my headlights and fogs they are still brighter and better than any other headlight i have ever had

 

i always seem to do this, i think up a question and ask it hoping to talk to someone, and then i search and find what i'm looking for or at least close to it.

found a thread with a comparison to stock lights. though the comparison is on a tc, the difference should still be seen on my xB huh?

I almost got the silverstar ultra, but got Hella's instead, they are real bright and I like them, everyone else thinks they are real bright as well I still want to put in HIDs though.

 

i just put in the silverstar ultras, there's definately a difference compared to stock. whiter. no yellow, whiter, maybe a slight dash of blue. i like em.

 

sorry don't know much about all these mod stuff but did you need to change any fuses to compensate for the brighter bulbs?

 

no

 

gothbox,
do you have the model # for those hellas?

 

eh i dont like the silverstars not to much of a diff....

i got halos in mine... bright as heck

and got em for 22 for the set!!!!

 

also if u live close

the glendora toyota dealership sells the halos for real cheap...

i think like 27 or so for the pair which is good any othere place will charge around 40
