Just doing some reading at other forums about these replacement lights.

"Sylvania Silver Stars are the closest you can get to the look of HID High Intensity Discharge headlights without the cost of HID"

Anyone running these in your headlights? Are they any good, better?
They must be brighter than stock. Canadian Tire has them for the Mustangs for 28.95 a piece.

What ya think? or what about HID lights, how costly are they?

 

for a set of HIDs you'd be looking at a couple hundred dollars....



just make sure you don't violate : No motor vehicle shall carry on the front thereof more than four lighted lamps that project a beam having an intensity of over 300 candela. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (9).

 

I was wondering the same question as well. I'm not a big fan of HID's but I think these bulbs will be a slight improvement over stock.

 

For the price, you can't go wrong with the SilverStars.

I put them into my Cobra last year... a direct replacement bulb from the stock one... does hi & lo beam. I believe they run a couple watts higher than stock but I haven't had any problem. Took about 5 minutes to do the install.

I paid $24.99/ea from Canadian Tire for them recently - put them in my daily driver. Just make sure you find out the proper model number of bulb you need.

 

Thanks for the info, probally pick some up real soon. cheers

 

I had them in my 99 too but they dont make a fog light bulb..and makes it look awkward IMO as you have bright whites up top and dull fogs...
my 0.02

I ended up putting some eurolites in that come in bright white and they make a fog lamp bulb as well. will be doing the same on the 04 come spring.

 

I put the silverstars in my Mach1 this past summer. Much whiter light. Brighter as well. Great improvement at night!

Worth the money I think.

 

Canadian Tire says they do. they did not have any on the shelf when I was in but she said she could check out back, I said no as I did not need them right today. Here is the part number. 2003 FORD Mustang

High & low beam headlamp
9007LL
9007ST Silverstar High Performance Halogen Upgrade

Fog/Driving light
893

Note: I did not say they have them the counter person told me they did, So check it out if ya like.

I agree on the differant shades if driving lights and fogs look differant. Heard that the fogs burn out quick. Hope not true. May be because of handling them without gloves or something. cheers.

 

thanks man...will stop by there this aft!!!

 

I had eurolites in my cavalier and the lights was aweful. stock bulbs lit the road up way more. the colour was nice though.

if silverstars are available for foglights for the gt's then i will be buying them for sure.
