Any problems w/ silver stars??

I was think about switching my low beams to Silver Stars to get more light. Has anybody had (or heard of) any problems with them melting parts, such as the housing or any wiring. I've heard of problems with higher wattage bulbs doing this. My car is all stock, so I was concerned about the plastic housing for the lights.

Nope, no problems here. I have had my silverstars for about a year and only had to replace the driver's side bulb once. They won't melt any house. Just be sure that when you are installing them that you don't touch the bulb itself or you might smudge it.

No problems yet and I'm using a set that was originally purchased for another car...

are they much brighter than the stock?
according to sylvania techs the bulb last about a year ... due to the high performance of it ... it burns out faster ... and drl decrease the life of it ... it's good it's lasting so long for you

i was thinking of getting these... where can i get them for under 34$?shipped tax and out the door... cuz wal mart sells them for 38 before tax ... that's a lot


thanx

I haven't put Silverstars on my 'Rolla yet, but I've had them on every car before. They are much brighter than stock. Right now Pep Boys is having a sale on them.

Pair is $16.88 w/coupon, and after $6.00 mail in rebate they are only $11.88? Hmmm...maybe somebody needs to check their math at Pep Boys.

Holy Mother Crap! I am gonna crap 2 set as soon as I get off work.

I went to Pep Boys, and they didn't honor me because they said it's a TYPO. All stores were noticed this morning, and I was 12 hours late.......... :cry:

"installed for only $5"
rofl

its not a bad idea to go ahead and get a cotton ball wet with alcohol and wipe em down right b4 u put em in the housing just in case u touched em by accident and didnt realize it

...I've had no issues w/my Silverstars.

i dont like them
i've used them for quite a while and i always felt like it didnt produce as much light than the stock bulbs. But i thought maybe it was just in my head, til my passanger side bulb went out. So i put a stock bulb back into the passanger side, with the silver star still on the driver side. i noticed a big difference.
Only thing they do is make the light look white but vision is not as good as stock.

Yeah SilverStar looks cool, but brightness wise it's about the same.

Right now I am using 90w 9005 on the low beam. VERY bright.

still ... 28.99 after rebate isn't that bad ... better than wal mart ...

i might pick one up ...

are you guys sure it isn't brighter?
what about the H3 for the fog lights? if i get both ... will it increase my lighting? i'm having problems seeing at night ...

aight .. finally got my silverstars installed ...

the color is noticeably different... definitely less yellow.
The light glows brighter ...
The midsection in front ... is brighter ... but the peripheral and the long shot ... isn't as bright as i expected ... needs more power to it or something ... would be nice if it was a lil brighter further out ... all in all .. it is brighter ... especially in the dark areas ... kinda wierd how it doesn't seem as bright when street lights are around ... i think my oem were working better during the street light parts .. not sure ... only drove 10 minutes with them ...

I like them though .. so far ... will let you know if anything happens or i change my mind.
my fog lights still brighten the road ... i thought it would be bright enough so that my fogs wouldn't even have an effect ... but we'll see
