Meaning you can almost see things directly on the side of the road next to the headlamps. Amazing. I bought the 9006 Sylvania Regular Headlights, and were so impressed by them that I decided to buy these for my brights, which also happen to be my day-timerunning lights. As if my regular headlights weren't enough, these light up just about everything for a good 200-300 feet ahead, and have a huge wide angle that covers I'd about a 165 Degree angle cone from the car. I actually get flashed by other drivers to turn off my brights now as I drive by (sometimes we forget, right). I took my old brights out of my car to see that they were spotted with old brown spots on them and probably explained the dull yellow color.
Their color is very nice, I don't like the stupid blue / purple HID's and I thought these were a cheap alternative. I decided to replace the headlights on my Chevy Cavalier. Ever since I installed these, friends and strangers alike have commented on how incredibly bright these lights and how blinding they were up close. Needless to say I was overdue for a replacement. The Difference was insane. These are a very crisp white / blue bright light and look very nice.
Pros: Price, Quality, Huge viewing angle and range, very brightCon: May not last too long but we'll see in a year.
They are really not that much brighter than regular new head lights. these silverstar ultra are not worth the $49.99 list price for the twin pack. they will burn out in less than a year, mine lasted 10 months cause I only use them about two weeks per month. they are just a whiter light which makes reflective road signs show up better. Also you will not get any rebate from Sylvania if you shop around and get a better price or get them on sale.
I guess I'm spoiled by them now. All you need is the person's year make and model of their car and you can be sure what you buy will fit.
Headlights dull over time and so do the lens covers that surround them. Ok since it's technically illegal to add HID (Xenon) headlights to a vehicle that didn't come with them from the manufacturer, these are the next best thing.
A great gift too since it's one of those things people never buy for themselves. It happens so gradually that you don't really ever notice.
But buy and install these and you get a much brighter and safer night time driving experience. These headlights are great and now that I have them in both high and low beam; I'd never drive my car at night without them.
A small price to pay for safety.
Besides, all halogen bulbs lose lumens (brightness) over time so headlight bulbs should be replaced periodically anyhow. My one negative is that they are not cheap and the increased output seems to come at the expense of longevity.
We live in the country where roads can be very dark and deer and other critters crouch on the roadside waiting to run out. I have used Silverstars (and now Silverstar Ultras) in all of our family's vehicles.
They do not blind oncoming drivers when properly aimed either. They provide a level of lighting improvement that has to be seen to appreciate.
Vision is so much better and eye strain greatly lessened. The Ultras are said to last longer than the original Silverstars but only time will tell.
Install Silverstar Ultras, polish those lenses if they're fogging and be prepared to be impressed.good lighting is indespensible.
I like the color temperature of these bulbs, it is a nice white light without being an annoyance to other drivers like some bulbs are. I've always grabbed the light by the plastic base and not the bulb itself, but that doesn't make a difference, the filament just goes.Oddly, I've never kept the receipt to take advantage of Sylvania's lifespan warranty, but this time. However, as others have stated, they do not last very long. I've gone through 3 sets, and not one set has lasted more than 6 months. this time I mean it. I will keep the receipt.
