Want to buy Silverstars for X-mas present...help

For my younger brother, i'm a little confused as to how many bulbs I need tho. According to Sylvania I need 2 9005ST and 2 9006ST and thats not yet including fogs! JeeZ. Now, is one the driving light and the other the headlights? If so, do youguys think it would be ghetto to roll with only headlights in silverstar? and which are they.

BTW Did you guys notice that they now make ST corner lamps in amber? They're pimp, give them a shot, a very deeeeep orange glow, and the bulbs are pearlescent coated, very nice.

9005 are the high beams
9006are the lows

I only have the low beams and, they were great at first but they seem to suck now, compared to HID. Also PIAA bulbs would be a better choice in my opinion 8)

edit to what dennis said 9006 is low and 9005 is high beam, i believe the fogs are H3

That is correct they are H3';s for the fogs

You mentioned HID,s are you referring to TRUE HID's? Or HID-like bulbs. If TRUE, then how much is the conversion kit.

he means True HID's i have a 5000k kit in my car and let me tell ya, the silverstars compared to those look no different than regular halogens. although i'm still having glare issues but based on my observations, i think a black housing headlamp should greately reduce that, i'll keep everyone interesed posted as soon as i get my lamps.

Wow I saw the pics on your site, what was the cost on that conversion kit? Very very nice looking. Our cars are pretty much the same color hehe mine is called Mineral Grey

if you are planning to get the silverstars, i would suggest you to get Piaa XtremeWhite or Xtreme Force instead
Piaa bulbs look more of the bluish white
and silverstar looks more of a purplish white
i have both on my car b4 but personally i like piaa more

the 9005 kit cost me 400 shipped from www.proxenon.com. the lighting is beautiful and the install was really easy. the colors are similar but i wish i had your grey instead of my grey brown mix. btw what kind of stuff do you have done to your stang

blowing out

Does anyone notice that the silverstars blow out every six months?

Did this happen to u? Im not sure thats correct cause theres a few people who have had em for more than a year and no probs. Ive had mine on for more than 6 months and no probs.

yup

yeah I got my car 9--02 put in the first set of silverstars 11-02 replaced passenger side 6-03 replaced driveride 10-03 then the passenger side again 12-03. This is gettin a litte expensive...

I know that theoretically bulbs are supposed to be clean right out of the box, but I've been skeptical, so I always prep the glass surface with some alcohol before installing. I have the same modified (9005) silverstars that came out of another car and they've been operation for 15 months. I'll keep my fingers crossed....
