Awesome! I may have to get down to Autozone :excited:

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

FYI.... Advance Auto Parts has all Sylvania @ 25% off through 12/30! Just picked up mains and fogs for $58.23! They had the mains in a twin pack (H13ST2) for $37.88 and the fogs (9145ST) were $19.88 each. Autozone wanted $19.99 each and no sale. Advance was $21.73 cheaper :dancingbanana:

Hope to put them in the next day or two

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

there is a guy on E-bay also selling them. He's in PA. It costs about $39 and change with shipping. I just received them the other day. Do a search for Silverstar H-13, it should come up.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Plus you can get a $5 rebate on each pair of lights from Sylvania. $10 limit per household http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...onsAndRebates/

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

How hard is it to replace the fog blubs? Anybody got any tricks to accessing them?

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Break your fender liners. Lucky for me, both of mine got broken while off-roading and the dealership hasn't gotten them in yet, so I just reached up. I'd imagine it would suck any other way. :giggling:

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

those pics are great thanks! Looks sweet. Im definately switching.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Guess I posted my comments in the wrong section yesterday - Here it is for this thread:

Just purchased a pair of Sylvania H13ST Silverstars from Autozone tonight at $19.95 ea. Replaced the OEM Phillips lamps (took less than 2 minutes for both sides) and wow - a very noticeable difference in light quality and intensity. The silverstars produce a much more natural, pleasing white light and are in fact, brighter than the OEM's. Although the wattage is the same, Osram Phillips managed to squeeze more lumens out The upgrade was definitely worthwhile. I took the last pair from the store and was told they can't keep them on the shelf for more than 2 days before they sell out. I was going to pick up a set of 9145ST's for the fogs, but they only had one in stock. Will be back to the store soon. In case you're wondering, Sylvania does not offer the H13 in the Silverstar Ultra version, but I suppose it's only a matter of time. Here's a link to Sylvania's website if you want more info on these lamps: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...ce/Silverstar/
I give these lamps a perfect score. :perfect10s:

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Thanks for the info, going to go get a set of the headlights and fog lights tomorrow.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

The headlamps and fogs can both be replaced in about 5 minutes. I didn't have to remove the plastic fender lining for the fogs, just had to squeeze my hand through - not too bad.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Just finished mine, totally agree! 10 mins all four were done, 6 of them looking for a flashlight!

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Hmmmmm- they must have subsidiaries - there is a huge plant in Warren, PA. It mgiht even be the HQ - thus the "Sylvania" origin.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Any idea or guess as to when the Ultra's will be out?

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Sent an inquiry through Sylvania contact page and got a very fast reply;

Good Morning,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your inquiry.
Unfortunately, neither parts H13 or 9145 are currently available in our
SilverStar Ultra product line. The highest upgrade that we offer for
these parts is in the "regular" SilverStar product line. Part H13 will
eventually be offered in a SilverStar Ultra upgrade; it is expected to
be released by fall of 2007. Part 9145 is not currently scheduled for
release in a SilverStar Ultra upgrade.

Parts 9145ST and H13ST have just recently been launched and are being
sold at the following retail stores:

Advance Auto Parts
AutoZone
GI Joe's
O'Reilly Auto Parts

We have only recently begun shipping these parts to these retail stores'
warehouses so it could be another month or two before the product makes its way from their warehouses to their stores and then out onto the store shelves. I believe Advance Auto Parts is selling both parts
online through their website: www.partsamerica.com. We are currently
running a mail in rebate promotion that offers customers a $5 rebate
check with the purchase of a pair of SilverStars. I have attached the
rebate form to this email for your convenience. Please do not hesitate
to contact me directly if you have any other questions or require
further assistance.

Sincerely,
Heather Kennett
Consumer Care Specialist
OSRAM SYLVANIA, Inc.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

I think Sylvania makes these in my hometown. Anyone have a box to see where they are manufactured? :popcorn:

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

So I just got my silverstars. They made a huge difference in my other vehicles, but not as much this time. The color temp is slightly less yellow but not all that different from stock. It does seem to throw a little more light down the road and to the right tho.

Not a required upgrade imo, but still worth it on sale and with the rebate :)

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
 

Does anyone know if the rebate form is available online, how long it goes for, and is it limited to one pair of bulbs?
