The ones I have right now are not very bright and one is already burnt, does anyone know the part/model # for those ultra bright blue headlight bulbs?

Thank You.

they are all 9007. I'm not sure abut all this stuff of getting more light than the stated wattage.

nope. :roll: I think it's all hype to get your money. DOT sets limits on how much light output you can run on the highway, hence "for off road use only" on high power lights.

I do a lot of night driving and the Silverstar Ultras are far better than the stock bulbs. I also use them in the foglights. The light is more white and I can see a lot further down the road. The doors on Police cars that sit on the emergency roads along the freeway really light up from a long distance away.

Thank You, the ones I have now are just not bright enough and it is not the headlight or the plastic on it. I need something brighter to drive at night, I will check the local walmart since it isn't far and see if they have this You guys mentioned.

:)

I bought the Piaa was not impressed, they are bright but not worth the money. The Sylvania are just a little less bright and not as white of a light.

Don't get me wrong i like the Piaa lights but 45 bucks a pop is steep for such a small improvement. Get these only if your have money to waste or are a light freak :). 2¢

X2 I used to have the PIAAs for both fog and headlights. I actually have an easier time seeing at night and in bad weather with the Silverstar Ultras.

The PIAAs were great, but I am sticking with the Ultras, they are easier on the eyes.

I've been reading reviews around the web and most say the same thing. Good but not worth the money. I'll stick with SilverStars and eventually pop for some driving lights to compliment my stocker fogs.

I bought a pair (Sylvania silverstar 4000k) about an hour ago and put them on for a test, they sure are brighter than the old ones I really like the difference. I'm concerned about the lifespan of this lights how many years did You guys get from this ones?

Thank You.

I have had mine for over a year with no noticable loss of brightness, but I do not drive as much as most people do. The PIAAs that I had in before lasted about a year before one of them burned out. Even if I am replacing the Silverstars every 18 to 24 months, they are still worth the money, just for the peace of mind.

I installed the Silverstars on my Dodge Ram truck and got about 6 months out of one and 8 out of the other. I'll never buy them again.

Maybe everyone knows this,if you touch the bulb,or get it dirty,clean it with alcohol,before you install,new style lights burn pretty hot,oils/whatnot cause them to overheat/burnout.
