Silverstar Headlight bulbs- Are they an improvement?

Now that is pretty slick...I like that!

That's nice you can drive with the ATP on. I'm hoping the 520 fogs won't be an issue when I'm driving.

Post up a pic on this thread when you get them mounted.... I'm interested in seeing them.

While you're at it post up that stealth setup you have!

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,

Have you posted pics of your install? Are those plug and play or did you have to cut wiring?

Id like to improve my DRL's

[lasvegash2]

no wire cutting. they are the piaas 510's. they are a perfect fit with no cutting. i also used a steel bracket on the backside so they are a solid mount versus just bolting to the plastic. i used the supplied wire and relay and have the trigger wire connected to parking lamps. they are bright but the hid's drown out the light that the piaa's give off.
