Sylvania Silverstars. Direct plug in, no mods to ANYTHING needed. And the difference is outstanding!
I had some, switched to H4 bulbs thinking I could do better & went back to the Silverstars.

+1 for Silverstars. HUGE difference over stock without shelling out the major $$$ to go HID.

Re: Need new headlights! suggestions anyone?
I recently got Silverstars for my fog lights as well.
Even with my high beams on, you can tell the difference between my fog lights on & off.
I got my headlights at Pep Boys & Autozone, and got the H3 bulbs for my fog lights off fleaBay.
Here s a stock standard H3 compared to the Silverstar H3.....

Re: Need new headlights! suggestions anyone?
Oh yeah....I made videos of my lights afterward that night.
But if you ask me, the videos doesn't do them justice, From inside, I feel like I can see more than the video shows & from outside, they don't seem that bright or "blinding".
From inside the car.....

Re: Need new headlights! suggestions anyone?
Looks like I will be getting a set of the Silverstars. Of course, anything would be better than my burned out candles.
I think they are the original headlights anyway. After I get the headlights, I going to have to get me some of those cool tail lights. Thanks guys, I appreciate the input and pics!

Re: Need new headlights! suggestions anyone?
Whatever H4s that came with them. I bought them used, so I dunno.
I coulda bought Silverstar H4s, but I didn't know if it was the bulbs or bad housings. But I knew I liked the sealed beam Silverstars, so I just went back to them.

Re: Need new headlights! suggestions anyone?
WOW, those silverstar halogens are NICE!
the low beams light up whats infront of me very nicely.
and when I click over to my brights the f**king things light up my street as if it was day. I'm amazed really...
although it is a little exaggerated they are still a very great quality headlight, and hell they pop right in too.
