Silverstar Headlight bulbs- Are they an improvement?

hi why pay $70 for piaa bulbs, when you can have a hid kit for $150 that are much brighter than piaa and last longer?

Hey Tracy--

My original plan was to have all the lights match... going HID would have just been more than I NEED to spend. I really don't use the fogs much in past experience so I definitely didn't want to go HID on those... when you barely use them why even spend an extra 50 bucks?? That's my logic anyways....

I do think that I will go HID headlights though.

The main reason for the fogs is to light it up while camping, on a trail, beach, mountain... etc... and the rare times when it really is low visibility out...

The light bar is just because it looks cool! It will also compliment the PIAA fog lights nicely...,, for the purpose I plan on using them for.... turning off the headlights and using the fogs for extra lighting.

hi that is what i meant hid headlights. I have them and their are the best choice it took me 45 mins to install them. If it warms up abit its -15 here. i will post a few pictures on sat. I made a set of amber led drl with covers because we have to have them in ontario.

Ya I installed a set before on a prior car.... I know it's simple just had to make sure I reallly needed them. Took some posting and reading to figure it out.

Would love to see some pics of yours.... Did you get he digital 55 watters from retro? What temp did you get?

Dam that's cold!

hi i got 35 watt ones from a guy here in ontario and they are 6000k just a touch of blue. I think 8000k have to much blue. The only thing i did was add a peice to the power wire and ground wire, because everything is mounted to the headlight pots so it all moves with the hood when it opens.

Hi here is some pic of hid installed. The ballasts are bolted and wire tied and the harness going to the pass headlight has clips holding it, so no drilling involved. Right side
