This review is from: GE 9006NHS/BP2 Nighthawk SPORT Headlight Bulbs (Low-Beam), Pack of 2 (Misc.)

I was torn between the Nighthawk bulbs and the Sylvania 9006SU SilverStar Ultra, Twin Pack. After reading some negative reviews about the lifespan of SilverStars, I opted to go with these.

Initially, I was worried about how blue these would look, versus the regular Nighthawk bulbs, but I was happy to find that there's really not much of a blue tint in the light at all.

The light is very bright and very white. I wouldn't put them against an HID system, but you can absolutely see a difference. Driving at night took a little getting used to, as the beam pattern doesn't seem to bleed the same way my stock headlights did.

Another concern I had was that oncoming traffic would be blinded by the extra light output. However, this hasn't been a problem. And, again, from a distance these lights look pure white, rather than blue.

December 2009 Update: Well, after just under a year and two months, a bulb died on me. Just outside of the 1-year warranty, no less. Since I'm just outside of the warranty, I decided to order the SilverStar Ultras.

In the meantime, I had saved the OEM bulbs when I put the Nighthawks on, and am pretty surprised to see the side-by-side difference. The throw and clarity on the Nighthawks really is excellent. It's a shame they don't seem to last very long.

February 2011 Update: Not so much an update as a tip: apparently, the SilverStar Ultras last just as long, and cost more. So, I'm going back to these bulbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Was Looking For..., September 18, 2009

Niqui (Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: GE 9006NHS/BP2 Nighthawk SPORT Headlight Bulbs (Low-Beam), Pack of 2 (Misc.)

When looking for replacement head light bulbs I wanted something that was bright and covered a wide area to both sides since I drive through some country where wildlife tends to run across the road at night. My main thing was increased visibility from the generic bulbs I had used before, BUT I did not want to blind other people on the road. One of my pet peeves when driving at night are people with blinding headlights; evidently they think it's stylish.

All in all, I found exactly what I was looking for with these bulbs. I was not looking for blue tinted lights, but true to what I had read in other reviews it comes off as a white light, which is what I was looking for. I have been driving with them for approx. one month now and love how they have improved visibility while driving at night.

I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for effective, but not blinding, white lights. I also suggest buying them off Amazon.com - they had a GREAT deal going at the time I bought them.

I've been using the lights now for a couple weeks. I bought them to replace the OEM bulbs on my '05 Dodge Pickup. I was hoping for the 30% increase in distance they advertise, but that didn't happen. They are no brighter than the stock bulbs and only a little different in color temperature. If your looking for more of the "bluish" xenon look, these bulbs aren't for you. Even though the bulbs are blue coated, they don't reproduce that when lit. I'm satisfied ONLY because I wanted to replace the OEM's since they were a few years old and because I caught the "two for one" deal Amazon had on them.
