I'm right there with ya. My Silverstars was the only mod that my wife noticed as well. They should come stock on our cars.

Yes, they're real nice.

Helps quite a bit however the headlights on the Mustang still suck for field of view at night.

indeed, i love mine too. cheap upgrade. only better thing is HID's which are much more expensive and not as nice looking in our cars since we have reflectors, not projectors

ps - does sylvania make a fog light bulb for these? i heard they had one but stopped making it cause it kept blowing out

My lights are so dim that sometimes I can't see unpainted speedbumps and I run them over at 20mph. I also want to know if they make foglight bulbs.

I've had the headlights and the fogs since I bought the car 6 months ago. I put them in. No bulbs blown out yet. The only thing is that in certain lighting the low beam seems brighter than high beams.

Fog#893 (37.5w) even though #880 will work (27w)

I bought a set of the Toucan bulbs (Ebay) for the fogs and they match the Silverstars pretty good.

Mine do too. It's almost as if the high beams are dimmer than the lows, but you can see further.

Kinda like when you point a flashlight at something close v.s. something far away. You can see the object further away, but it's not as bright as when you point the flashlight at your feet.

I had some cheap blue coated 9007 bulbs for a while then went with an aftermarket HID kit. Those things suck....the kit was bright but they had hot spots. I now have a bmw m3 projector in my GT. If you ever go the HID route, the best would to be a retrofit. Check out www.hidforum.com

Here is a newbie question. Is it easy to mess up the aiming on the headlights when I'm changing bulbs? I've never done anything like this before and I need to make sure.

when changing the bulbs on my 03 I didn't have to do any reaiming 'cause I didn't mess with the aim. The way they're set up to be removed doesn't interfere.

No worries 40thGT, just pull the 2 tabs holdin' it in and change the bulbs.

I've got all Silverstars... headlights (9007), turn signals (3157), and foglights (880). I also got new headlights without the orange reflector and the crystal clear foglights. In the head on pic, I've only put a single crystal clear fog in so you can see the difference. You can also see the iridescence from the turn signals. In the second pic, you can see how much brighter the crystal clear foglight is (both of them are using the 880 silverstars).


Welp... nevermind, can't get the pics to attach. They're only 22k and 23k... You have to pay to do that now or something?
