I have one Sylvania Silverstar and one Sylvania Cool-blue and let me just say....I can't tell the difference unless I'm staring right at them. Even then, I have to look hard. When my bulbs go out, I'm going right back to the Cool-blue's

those things will melt your wires in no time....well at least most of the time they will.....i've seen those things go through WRX harnesses in 2 weeks.....
as for me:
used to have Nokya's in the heads...no good, high wattage, useless spread and color.....the ones i had and really liked were the Polarg VIP's in Plasma Purple.....great output, and functionality AND the looked good from a distance...kinad like 7000K HID's :D
in the fogs i had Hella Yellowstars....as with the Polargs these are also a great bulb.....although i had one blow and havent tried to replace it yet, so as of right now ....Stock H3
I also have a set of hella 500's...those have some 100W street glows....pretty decent bulb...they put out enough light :D

Philips all the way, VisionPlus is the preferred brand. They own. If you have 9007 (stock WRX housings), Philips HiVisibility is the choice. (Yes, they're better than SilverStars.)

i use a couple no name brands for my fogs and corners but i spend bank on the heads, sylvania silver stars. they're not blue at all and don't look very bright when u look at them from the side but when they hit things and you see them straight on it hurts. i love them.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone uses the Silverstars. They are like $9 more (each) than the Cool-blues and they look almost the same as the Cool-blue's. :confused:

I put in the Philips HiVisibility 9007 bulbs, it's a subtle difference, imo. I only changed out one bulb, and then that night took a bunch of pictures -

You can sort of tell, the Hi-Vis bulb is less yellowish, and casts a cleaner light - the difference under high beams is even more noticable. $15 at Kmart.

there was a 15 or 20$ rebate on them; making them reasonably priced...

let see in the WRX i have CIC 55/100 9007 $6 for the pair
in the GC8 i have hella 55/100 h4 $5/pair
as a nice bonus the 55 won't melt the wireing like almost all the others do
the silverstars are junk i had a set for a whole week befor both of them burned out .. somthing about not being designed for a car with a car off/lights off system

Anyone used the Sylvania XtraVision?? At my local auto zone, the cool blues were $14.99, a whopping $5.00 less than the Silverstars.

Tried 'em, and the XtraVisions were actually slightly better than the SilverStars.

How were they for reliability? I was considering Silverstars until that post about burning out quickly because of the car off/lights off system. Have you had any problems with the XtraVisions in that regard?
| BiglTFP | 07-02-2003 01:06 PM |
I put the phillips vision plus and the phillips hi-vis/premium in my 04 and they rock..theyre a little expensive b/c had to get them from europe but for all 4 bulbs it ran me $70 and they are really great quality, and give off a lot better light...not blue either..
