Sylvania silver star lights
 
Thinking of putting as set of these lights in a 99 balzer. Are they as good as advertised or does amybody know of a more powerful type light with the bluish tint to it?

I have the Silver Star Ultras and like them, but they do not have a blue tint to them. Why do you want that?

Yes they're bright
No there isn't a tint
Keep the receipt because they tend to burn out within a year
& for the price of them you can get 8000K HID's from one of our sponsers in here "HIDxtra"
& possibly have enough left over for a case of beer AND HIDxtra has a 2 year warrenty & customer service has been great in here.

Someone must actually use the grease... lolz.... But I heard bad news if you dont get enough grease on em...

Uhmm, what grease? If you're talking about dielectric grease, it isn't required on bulb connections.

I could have sworn it was.....

lol the connections are PNP or should be, no dielectric grease needed
I have a friend that has the Sylvanias & yeah they were toasted inside a year
but, go to HID's

side note:. any electrical connection that could be 'weathered' it's not a bad idea to put some dielectric grease in there, a dab or 2 .... it's not going to hurt

BTW... wheres the OP?

I wonder how many of these incidents are caused by people handling the bulb glass and then not removing the skin oil fom them. This is a well known way to get a halogen bulb to burn out early.

Thanks guys for the lowdown on the silver star lights.
I just ordered the HID conversion kit for $60.00. Got the low beam 6000k.
Going to see how they work out and maybe then order the hi beams.
