Silverstar Headlight bulbs- Are they an improvement?

[pdxrealtor]

I know HID is better, but are the silverstars an improvement over the stock halogen bulb?

On another note-

For those with brush guard mounted FOG lights... can you drive into oncoming traffic with those on? Looking at the PIAA 520 series-

I know with OEM fogs you can drive with them on,, but most aren't 6" x 2

Don't even bother!

I bought em, installed em, and threw em out.

Buy the Zenon, the best improvement you'll make!!!!!!

"Zenon" ?? Are you referring to an H.I.D. setup or a certain headlight bulb?

i installed the silverstar ultra but then i bought the piaa extreme white and those were even whiter than the silverstars. i am happy with them. i put the stock in one headlamp and the piaa in the other headlamp and i couldnt believe how yellow the stock bulb is. i just bought the piaa 510 atp which i will be installing tomorrow. they will be going into the stock drl location. i will be running those with my headlamps.

Thanks for that info...

Did you happen to note if you could see further with the whiter bulb?

I almost went the route you did with the 510 in the DRL spot, but decided to go with the 520 fog for the brush guard.

I'll use those for driving in the fog, snow, etc... and I'm trying to find a set of rectangular fog lights to do a light bar for the top. That would come in handy at the beach, camping, or up at the mountain in the snow.... just to light things up with the fog lights on the brush guard.

I saw in an old post of one of DRTYFUNs pics with the 510 fog mounted in the DRL slot... looked real good!

yes i could see better with the piaa's extreme white bulb(9007) http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-9000.html . i got the piaa 510 atp http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/510atp.html ....atp mean a all-terrain-pattern. the light pattern is a blend of a fog and driving light combine. piaa tech support told me that i would be safe running with my headlamps on the street because the driving beam is not as extreme as the 510 driving lamp. i also have this mounted http://hummerpartsclub.com/mm5/merch...ne_lighting_H2
