The whitest, brightest headlight available. View larger. See farther, wider and more clearly. View larger. Why You Should Upgrade to SilverStar Ultra It is an accepted fact that headlights can dim over time by 20% or more. When this dimming occurs, timely replacement of halogen bulbs can instantly increase lighting performance and resulting visibility, but all halogen bulbs are not created equal. The more light you can spread on the road, the better the visibility. With this in mind any driver looking to replace or upgrade their headlights should consider Sylvania's SilverStar Ultra line of halogen headlights bulbs. With a color temperature rated at 4100K (Kelvin), the level of whiteness of the light put out by SilverStar Ultra bulbs is close to that of an approximation of natural daylight at noon (4870K). Their level of brightness, the amount of light able to be reflected in a particular direction(s) or on particular spots, is also exceptionally high. Together these factors make SilverStar Ultra bulbs the whitest and brightest halogen headlights currently available. This increased lighting performance allows for dramatic improvements over standard halogen bulbs in various areas, including up to a 40% increase in down-road visibility, side-road visibility improvements up to 50% and overall increased brightness levels of light up to 50%. The result is a halogen bulb that allows drivers to see farther, wider and more clearly. Combine this with the SilverStar Ultra's D.I.Y. friendly plug and play installation, and you have a product line of bulbs that are a clear choice for any replacement or upgrade project. Key Features: The whitest and brightest headlight currently available. Up to 40% increased down-road visibility. Increases side-road (peripheral) visibility by approximately 50%.

Product Description

Sylvania SilverStar Ultra Headlight is fashioned for brighter and whiter light. It has dual filament for both high beam and low beam. This operates with internal gas pressure which significantly reduces the rate of tungsten evaporation. Its analogous non-halogen incandescent lamp operates the same filament temperature with greater luminance and efficiency. This combined effect of higher pressure and the halogen cycle give halogen lamp much longer life.

This review is from: Sylvania 9003/HB2 SU/2 BP TWIN SilverStar Ultra Headlight - Pack of 2 (Automotive)

Very bright but short lived.
I installed a set in my 2002 Honda CRV. One burned out in about 4 months and I don't have running lights. A call to Sylvania customer service gave a offer to send a new set if I returned the burnt out bulb with the sales reciept. OK thats nice, 2 for 1. Very generious,however the second set did not last any longer. Another call to C.S. This time the rep. was more helpfull or should I say truthful. I was informed that some makes of vechiles such as Honda and BMW, as well as other forgien makes run as high as 15 volts to the headlights causing premature failure of the Silver Star and Silver Star Ultra bulbs. Therefore Sylvania does not recomend them for these cars. Now they tell me.
I have had a set in my Chrysler T&C van for over 2 years. No problem.
Check with your dealer if your car is not US and save yourself money and aggravation.

I installed these on my 2000 Ford Focus, using disposable gloves as recommended, being careful not to touch the glass, and applying dielectric grease to the connectors. They were nice and bright, great for country roads at night. I give them 2 stars because they only lasted 4 months.

This review is from: Sylvania 9003/HB2 SU/2 BP TWIN SilverStar Ultra Headlight - Pack of 2 (Automotive)

I notice that I'm not alone. Installed these bulbs in my 2004 Accord. Worked great, until the left one died. Replaced it thinking it may have been a faulty one. A week later the other one died. Went back to the bulbs the car had from the factory.
Its a shame, as I have used Silverstars for years, and only ran into trouble with the Ultras. And I don't like HID, so I'm stumped.
