These lights are a big improvement over stock bulbs without being obnoxious to other drivers. I have not had failures of this lamp in any vehicle. I am careful not to touch the glass of the bulb with bare skin. Finger oils can supposedly damage the glass and shorten the life. As an electrician, Sylvania bulbs are my first choice. They have served me well over the years with impressive longevity.

I recently purchased a 2007 Nissan Frontier SE pick-up. I noticed it had the reflective headlights when I purchased it, but thought no furthur about it until my first night back roads(dark) drive. We have a lot of deer in the area, and hardly a night goes by that I do not have them cross the road in front of me. I could not see more than 100 feet in front of me on dim and about 125 feet on bright, it seemed, and was hesitant to drive more than 30-35 mph. I found myself ducking down to try to see under the light/dark edge. I was amazed to hear my wife describe the same feeling. I hated to drive at night. I contacted the local Nissan dealer and asked if the lights could be adjusted. The service manager acted like I was crazy and said they had not had this problem before, and was no help at all. I contacted Nissan headquarters who were even less help. They told me to contact the local dealers who were independently owned, and would be glad to furnish me a list of the area dealers. What a joke. I asked for help to solve a serious problem to me and got the brush off from Nissan on what I considered a serious design problem. I have a friend who has a Titan and does not have the reflective type lights and has no problems. So, Internet here I come. I found the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra lights, and started reading the reviews. Almost all were raves about how much it helps night driving. So, I decided to purchase some. BEST PURCHASE I HAVE MADE IN SOME TIME!!!! These lights made night driving so much easier. I can now see down the road. I would recommend these lights, and have, to anyone who feels their night vision is impaired by insufficient lighting by their automobile. Thanks Sylvania for fixing my problem.

I purchased these replacement bulbs for my 2003 Dodge Ram Pick-up truck. Some improvemnet over the 9007L's that it came equipped with, but not enough to justify the much higher price. What the web-site doesn't tell you is that the life of the bulbs is only 25% of the regular 9007 bulbs! Sylanvia tells you that on the back side of the packaging. Put that on the front and I would have stuck with the less expensive bulbs.

My year 2000 minivan's eyes were getting tired. By changing to these Sylvania 9007SU Silverstar Ultra bulbs, It lights up the road ahead like a new car. I love them.

I purchased these very expensive replacements because they were rated top in brightness and I was very pleased with the results. These bulbs were top notch... until my driver-side dim burned out in less than a year. I thought it might be a fluke, so I replaced it (even more expensive to purchase them singly) and was happy again for six months, then the passenger-side dim burned out. Now I am no longer pleased with these bulbs. I've purchased extra bright replacement headlights before for my other vehicles and they lasted years. This is the first time I've bought a bulb and discovered it's designed to burn out quickly. I don't know if it is poor engineering, or like household lights they are made to have a short life, but I will not buy any more and I definitely do NOT recommend these.

I had the factory GE 9007LL in my ford Excursion and they were very dim to me. When I put the Sylvania 9007SU for a replacement, It was like night and day. I feel like driving at night again with them in installed. I will give them a 5 star. You will not be disappointed. They are some what pricey. But for safety, is it worth a few more dollars.

I ordered two sets of the Silverstar lamps to replace the OEM lamps in my Murano and Durango. There was a significant difference in both cars with being able to "see" objects much more brightly. We live in a dense wildlife area. Missing critters is a necessity!
Don't hesitate to get a set! They're not zenons......so don't expect jet-aircraft landing-light brightness!

After seeing all the positive feedback on these bulbs, I went ahead and ordered a pair. I was really hoping and excited to see if they would live up their expectations and boy did they! They were noticeably whiter to the eye when looking at them, which is nice but only about 10% of why I got them. Out on the road while I'm driving was the big reason and these things light up the road so well. I have had them now for four months, so far, and I still get excited when I drive at night and get to see how well they work. Everyone who rides in my car will always comment on how well lit the road is. Especially when in the high beams they cast a very nice even light across the entire road and a long ways down it as well. I will never use another bulb unless they come out with a SilverStar Super Ultra or something! :) I am running them in a 2002 Subaru Impreza. Wonderful value for the improvement in vision versus the cost!

I've had my new headlights in for a few months now and they make an obvious difference for night driving. My headlights before were so dim that if I forgot to turn off my brights when passing another car, they rarely noticed. Now, 3 hours after installing the lights I get someone flashing me with only my dims on! I flashed back in excitement to show them they were not my brights. Turns out about 2 seconds later I see a deer standing just on the edge of the road the other car must have been warning me about, boy did I feel like an A$$! But, I did see the deer too!

The commercials for these headlights make them seem like some miracle lights, but they won't be any brighter than those headlights coming at you.

Good lights, recommended for night driving. 4 stars because of the advertising and short life span (of which I've read, no problems with them yet).

The lights work great. Really white and you can see tons. I only hope they last longer than my last pair (another sylvania brand).
