Sylvania Silverstars
Sylvania H13ST Silverstars are now available for use in the H3. I received an email from Sylvania yesterday, stating they have been shipped to Advanced Auto, Auto Zone and O?Reilly?s. I could not find them on any of their websites, however, today I walked into an Auto Zone and purchased the two they received for stock on Monday.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
Cool, I had silverstars on a different car before. They were definately an improvement over the stock ones. I'd get some people flashing me that my brights were on, when they weren't. As far as I recall they were more white'ish. I'm going to have to pick up a set.

You are. But to make up for my really white lights, maybe you should get black ones? That way no race will feel left out. I have a black truck, with white lights. You have a yellow truck, with black lights. If you get red lights instead, I think we can have every race represented after going through some mud.

Re: Sylvania Silverstars
A few years ago I switched to these on my other cars. The first car and first night (and there after), I had drivers flashing me because they though my high beams were on. Not good for them...but good when you get old and your eye sight begins to go

I've got them in my pick up, I've also got all six lights on w/ the high beams, I love it when they bright lite ME.
It sure lites up the interior of their vehicle.

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

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

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.

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.
