Sylvania Silverstar Ultras

Aha! Maybe this is what I was remembering. I have the regular silverstars, and for the price I think I will wait for mine to burn out before upgrading. The ultras are not the "night and day" difference over stock, so I'm wondering if they will even be an improvement over my regular Silverstars. They are obviously brighter, but so are the ones I already have.

Could just be a new Coke formula . . .

I agree with you, I'm going to wait until my blubs go then replace with the ultras. The silverstars have been good so far so why not try something that is just an improvement on a already good product. I do disagree, the ultras a big difference over the stock, I can look at the pic and make out a lot more detail on the concrete, like its texture. But that is JMHO, maybe I'll just use the ultras in my fog lamps since they are still oems.
 
Duhtroll, what are "HID's". I have not replaced my stock bulbs, but in reading your comment am wondering if any have had problems such as you mentioned, in overheating wiring, or any other component of the light fixture?
Thanks.

Be very careful about melting the wiring harness. I had a pair of street glow bulbs and within 4 months it melted and caused electrical damage.

Excuse my previous question about has anyone had or heard of overheating damage, i had not read all of these posts. But i am curious as to if anyone else has had or heard of overheating damage. And Matt's photos certainly do show a dramatic difference in the color of the lights, if not brightness, between stock and Ultras. Does this actually help noticeably in distance visibility?
 
They will be a good improvement over stock, but so are the regular Silverstars, so I was expecting a bit more difference from the examples here.

Of course if you get both rebates they'll be cheap.

I actually got to talk to someone that knew what they were talking about at a local auto parts store today about the ultras. He told me they are ever so slighty brighter than regular silverstars and are suppose to last around 25% longer than regular silverstars.
 
:cool: Ok that's nice but I want to know if they're not risk that the light wires don't get melted by time due to the power of those new Sylverstar Ultras.

The ultras are rated at the same power as the regular silverstars and the xtravisions. 55w/65w.
 
I'm thinking this weekend, I'm going to get a set for the Vic. Anything best OEM. Does anyone make brighter parking lights?
 
:cool: Yup FASTBLACKMERC I second that,the first minor mod dome to my "M" Panther was the Sylvania parking lights and looks awesome. ;)

i put the ultras in my car.. they are much better than stock. i cant compare them to the standard SS's though, i didnt have those before. I did put the SS's in the fogs, and they are much better than OEM as well. whiter, brighter light
 
I also tried the Ultras in my car. When I was on those back roads in VA and MD, quite a difference. They look pretty white and the raods signs are nice and visible.
 
:cool: Well Marauderers yesterday I went to Pep Boys and buy a pair of the Sylvania Ultra Silverstars and today I send the rebate coupon but they're not yet installed now tha problem is that the driver's headlight have humidity inside ¿How I can remove that water inside the headlight assembly?
