I got these silver star in March and one of them died on me today.

I had Eurolites for a year before I put these silverstars in.

i had piaa super whites for well over a year... then like a month ago one gave out... then a week later the other did :cry::cry: at least i didn't pay full price for them

I have a set of OEM Audi HID's but am contemplating on installing them or not or jsut purchasing one more silverstar. The reason why I'm hesitating on the HID is because they're not H4 and also I've been reading the millions of post on HID and am worried about the light pattern.... something I don't fully understand.

punkindrublic

sell the HID set up to me


how much are those silver stars anyways?? i got some like two year old "cool blues" from crappy tire in now but they are so dim compared to the piaa bulbs

LOL,

I think Silverstars cost $21 each at CT ....

punkindrublic

nice... each as in per bulb? those cool blues just dont cut the mustard like the piaa's... these silver stars are bright though?

imported_sketch

silver stars are really bright .... I have one stock bulb in right now just as something to have in so I don't get pulled over.
LOL the stock Honda bulbs look like DRL's compared to the sylvania. Yes thats Each

Aw man, don't tell me that
I just got them for my car not too long ago!
I like them a lot tho, look sweet and light up the road good!
even my gf noticed them and said 'hey, ur lights look really koo, like the ones on bmw's and mercedez' thats when u know something is right...lol

yeah well what can you do, Maybe its just the batch that I recieved or something. I wouldn't worry about that too much Dave. Anyway I was gungho about getting HID's but need to spend money higher prioraty things so how are PIAA's ?

sanjay

a waste of money

save your money and get hids....otherwise stick with stock bulbs or silverstars

imported_sketch

cool ..... thanks .... Silverstars it is, lets just how its not going to prematurely burn out again this time.

Mine have been in since....pfffft.... like I guess March as well, but I only put like 3000 kms on the car this year, so the lights couldn't have seen much use. My Philips Rallye 90/100s lasted for 4 years and they didn't even blow - I just decided to try the Osram lights

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the input, is there any place in Toronto that sells Philips Blue Vision UltraBlue 4000K??

I really don't want to deal with the shipping, otherwise I'll just go back to the sylania's and get my OEM fogs working again.

Bruno, can you tell us more about your 90W/100W Rallye bulbs from Phillips? I've tried a set of no-name brand 90/100W bulbs from eBay but they burnt in like 3 months! What kind of light does your bulbs throw out? Whiter than stock?

imported_sketch

how do the Phillips compare to the Sylvania in terms of the light being omitted and the colour ?

sanjay

not whiter at all....but WAAAAY brighter than normal bulbs

and they rallye's dont last long normally....about 200 hours (normal bulbs are 800, and hid is 3000+ hours)
