vehicle question

lol no worries no plans on going HID, I am looking into the sylania or GE, which ever is going to be the best long term I will go with, also yes the lamps are a bit yellow but only externally, I have some headlamp polish, so I will be doing this as well

thanks guys and gals

now I'll be onto my next thread for the day :P

I used to run Silverstars but had to go back to regular lamps because everyone kept flashing their high beams at me when I would drive at night. Apparently there is such thing as being too bright. I tried lowering the focal points but it didn't matter, they were aimed correctly, just "too dang bright" apparently.

Don't you mean all the aftermarket HID that all these people put in with all the blue bulbs

I have HID's in my Porsche, but they come with the Porsche and it's OEM with the projector lens, and stock color temperature stock bulbs.

They don't realize the higher the color temperature (more blue) you get less distance

Yes that's what I mean the after market ones. My new kenworth should have HID but there no where near the aftermarket. Maybe ill get some Roo lights

I replaced the headlights in the wife's car this summer with silverstars. Christmas eve the drivers side bulb burnt out already. Walmart was still open so I just grabbed an $8 bulb and installed it. Driving home on a dark highway the next night I noticed no further distance or brightness from my silverstar bulb compared to my new cheap Wamart bulb. I don't know if I should be disappointed with the silverstar bulb or be impressed with the cheap bulb.

Good luck with the headlight restore. Dad did that on the van great for about 2 months then 10x worse then before. We ended up buying brand new headlight assemblies for it.

I just wash the covers and they get brighter. Winter driving is dirty.

hehe forgot about this


Went with ge nighthawk platinums and polished my reflectors and headlight lenses.. I'm getting flashed a lot now.. not just by girls but guys too! perhaps they're a bit too bright!? But man.. gotta say, changing headlights on a jeep is 100x faster then my old chev.
