Thread: Good non-HID Headlights

silverstars

silverstars. run em in my S10 and LOVE EM! gettin ready to put a pair in my foglights on the GP

SILVERSTAR ULTRA....best besides HID's....

Go with a clear bulb such as the GE nighthawks or philips xtreme power bulbs and a relay harness. That will give you the best output with a halogen bulb. Anything with a blue coating on the bulb (ie silverstars) have less light output.

read up on Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply

Silverstars we have in america are not the same real silverstars from Germany. If you want light output your looking at bulbs like Philips ultra vision 50+, GE night hawks or the OSRAM siverstars (Germany) which do not have a color coating around them.

I got these, and they are bright as hell, I like them.

Silverstars have poor light output, no matter how attractive the box may be. Silverstars have a painted bulb which decrease light output like others have said. Ive ridden in cars with them. Its almost dangerous to drive with them. Plus they have a short lifespan.

Get GE nighthawks like others have said, or anything with a clear bulb.

hella xenons or silverstar ultras.

Where would I find a relay harness?

suvlights.com or ebay would be a good place to find one.

I think this one is for halogen bulbs. You can ask the seller.
