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 High Performance Halogen 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.

The Silverstar bulbs, whether this type or the standard ones are a good upgrade for any vehicle. I have them in 3 vehicles now, and they have lasted years in my VW Jetta and are still as bright as the day I put them in. Some reviews state short life span, so here's the best tip I gave give anyone working with headlight bulbs.
The second you are working with your Silverstars, put on latex gloves and don't take them off until you have the job done. Oil from your skin will create hot spots on the bulbs and they will burn out quickly. If you don't touch them, this won't happen and they should last for quite a few years. At this price, I would recommend these bulbs to everyone that would like to see better at night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Investment...But not H.I.D's, December 14, 2009

I paid $49.99 for these at Schuck's, which is more than on Amazon, but I didn't want to wait for shipping. As soon as you turn them on you can tell a difference from regular halogen bulbs. The road will come alive because the light is much whiter and brighter, and it does give you a better view of the road, markers, and signs. The visibility is about the same though, and you can only see a little farther up the road from standard bulbs. If you buy these Online, it's a good value and I recommend them, but as far as buying them for retail, stick with a good quality set of new bulbs for $15. If your bulbs are older than 5 years, replace them with new ones and you will see a big difference without spending $50. I eventually swapped these out for HID lamps, which are in a league of their own.

Overall, a great product that's a good investment if you're safety conscious and don't mind spending a lot more for headlamp bulbs.

A note: Sylvania-Osram says the "color temperature" of these approaches 4000k (or degrees Kelvin), which is in the range of High Intensity Discharge lamp systems. While they are brighter and whiter, these are still halogen and no where near the brightness or color of HID's, which generate light via an electric arc.

They seem to be brighter than the bulbs I replaced. Because the price was better here on Amazon, I purchased them. I would NOT buy them form local retailers as they wanted over $50 for these. If the price stays reasonable here at Amazon, I would continue to buy from here. Others have said they blow out premature, I have not experienced this. They are still working fine. If they do go out quickly I will come back here and modify this report. As of this time these lights seem slightly above average and that is the reason for the 3 stars (not less not more).
