After waiting 3 weeks, the mailman gave me my Silvania Silverstar!!!The price was little different of what I thought. At the beginning, it was $83 cnd for 2 set, then $83 Us, which is $126 cnd. Plus, when I picked up my parcel, I had to pay custom fees, $22. Overall, it cost close to $150 to 2 set of light.I got them yesterday evening and I was impatitient to install them. So I picked up a lamp, ratchet set and screw driver and went down in the parking lot to install them.If I can suggest something, wait to do it during the day. I is a little complicated to do it at night. I lost 1 of the screw who hold the lamp bracket older. By change I had one in my tool box who fit well.This is a pic of the SilverStar in their box

Oh, so your one of those people who likes to blind people on the roads eh!!!Just kidding, those are a real big help in driving at night..

Glad to hear it. Makes a big difference driving at night.

Make sure you check that out to make sure you aren't illuminating any trees or other drivers. I was flashed a couple times before I got to adjust the aim the next day.

do these give you the bluish light look?? whats the difference, just brighter?

quote:do these give you the bluish light look?? whats the difference, just brighter?When looking outside the car, there's not much difference, light is whiter with a more bluish color.But when you're inside the car, there're a huge difference. All is more clear, bright.

Not bad. I might get those for my driving lights. They look yellowish now that I have PIAA's in the headlights. One thing cool about PIAA, one of them blew out tonight after only 2 months. I took it back to the speedshop and got a new one for free. Gotta love the 1 year warranty on the bulbs.

I just installed my Silverstar headlights and foglights yesterday. They are awesome! They make a big difference at night. When driving next to cars with regular bulbs I could really tell the difference. My headlights were a lot whiter than theirs. A definate improvement.

I finally did a night road trip last week-end.There's a uge difference when driving at night!And the different went even bigger we I turned on the hight beam. Wow!!! It light the half of the planet!Good investment

Just installed mine today, can't wait for it to get dark. I have them in my wife's Alero, but i still can't wait to see them in my Vibe.

They rock... I don't get out much after dark (read: no life) so Saturday night I was out riding around, got away from the city, and woah... Those are bright!It's sad that I rarely get out to enjoy them. But each time I do, I pretty much go through the same thing. I guess I forget how good they are... I had a set in my N-body too. I didn't think the Vibe took 9006's, so I left 'em in the Malibu when I traded it in. Got home and found it takes 9006's. DOH! I could have saved $40 and stuck 'em in the fogs.
