Headlight Bulbs.

[badstang123]

I know most of you recommend the Sylvania Silverstars. My first question is are the PIAA's better if money is not a factor? My second question is I have seen offroad use only bulbs. The standard buld is a 9007 with wattage of 65/55. The offroad bulbs are 9007 with 100/80 watt. Anyone have any experience with the higher wattage bulbs. And can the factory wiring handle the extra draw. Thanks for your help guys.

eesh, i wouldn't run a higher wattage bulb...i've had some bad experiences w/ wiring and overheating

I run Silverstar Headlights, and Foglights.

Combined they are bright enough for me.

sorry to hijack but after tinting my headlights and fogs light went down. so the sylvias are the best to use?

The PIAA's are the best... but for $80 a set that is way too expensive I think.. Even where I work my price is $60.. **** that... Just got with the Silverstars or if you live in PA find an A&A auto and get the bulbs they have on sale... They're like $10 for two and brighter than wagners or sylvias.

I have silverstars in my headlights and I had them in my fog lights, but they kept blowing and I got tired of spending $20 everytime one went out. I just bought two OEM replacements and they havent blown and I can actually see a difference when I turn them on and off as opposed to the silverstars where I couldnt. But there is a big difference when it comes to the headlights. The Silverstars are MUCH brighter.

Is there a noticeable color difference in the light?

SLIGHT bluish tint when I went from OEM to Silverstars. Thats just from inside the car. I dont know if you can notice a difference looking at the headlights.

I like my silverstars too. I would say its brighter than stock but its just more of a white light, i dont notice much bluish.

My stock fogs are leaking now and one of my lights blew out. Should i get some aftermarket clears, or just try to seal them up?

I would just clean the lenses and seal them up.

I picked up the silverstars today. We'll see how they look tonight. Thanks for the input guys. Once I get the motivation to do some rewiring I might upgrade to higher wattage bulbs.

I run Silverstar's as well. I like them better than any of the previous 5 or so bulbs I've tried. They light up a nice bright white. Just don't get the "cool blue" ones. I wish they had never invented those things.
