Need to get something a little brighter and better looking then the stock ones that are there. If anyone has any good ones please post pics, I WILL NOT GO WITH HID.

 

Sylvania Silverstar. Thats all you'll hear from everyone. Only other true option other than HID

 

Do the h-4 conversion... Won't have to scratch up your bumper trying to replace headlights ever again... They're pretty much plug and play... I was hinted that I got a set for x-mas... Can't wait to see how they turn out...

 

Agreed. I have these in my truck. Lights are whiter and brighter. I get more light in front and to the sides.

 

Silverstars for drop in and go

 

BMW E36 Headlights

 

Sylvania Silverstars, I highly recommend. I have them in the fog, and head lamps. They are so white and bright, when I am next to new cars at night I notice that my lights are whiter and brighter... I have been told my car "glows" going down the street at night..

 

silverstars for straight plug and play.....H-4 no matter what anyone tells you they are not plug and play, at the least you have to make pigtail connectors to connect them and all the way upto a full wiring harness with relays.. but having said that its well worth the work involved.
So it depends how much work you want to put in to it.

what silverstars are ya usin in the fog lights????

 

I have Silverstars, but a upgraing to true HID. I'm tired of replacing the Siverstar bulbs. Apparently they only last about 2 years.....

And that is with me rarely driving at night anyways, so it isn't like I use them several hours a day, every day, 365 days a year either.

 

is it a bulb for the fog lights or did ya change everything?

 

For the fog lights, it is a H3 bulb, but the headlights are a sealed beam (H6054ST for 85-90 'birds, H4666ST for 91/92 'birds)

thanks gonna have to pick those up, all my lenses are smoked, so i need some bright bulbs behind em!!!

 

Living in the city, the Silverstars were fine for me. Now I live out in Bum Fudge Egypt, where the roads are DARK, there are no street lights & the deer are plentiful.

When I ride in a HID equipped car out here, I realize just how "bad" my Silverstar headlights are (compareatively speaking).

 

2 years!?! i cant get mine to last more than 6 months, but i do a lot of night driving. hids are way better. and even better than that if you have projectors.

 

If i didnt have HIDs already, i'd go with silverstars.Infact its what i used prior to switching over, but H4 are not worth what little(if any) improvement they give.

 

how do you like your xenarcs?

 

im trying to find a glass housing H4 setup for my Trans Am.

I have hookups on HID's and im afraid that a 55w HID kit is going to melt the plastic housings.

I have 55w 6000k HID's in my Titan and its literally like i drive down the freeway with the sun infront of my truck. i get 5 lanes wide and 6 car lengths of light ahead of me. My truck is lowered with the lights aimed slightly down from the stock location. I could make the lights shoot out further but i like to see what is directly infront of me.

 

Would'nt trade them for anything.I like them even better with projectors.

 

And here I wanna go from Silverstars to H4s....Replacing the Silverstars is getting old.....

 

I never figured silverstars fizzed out so quick.Guess i did'nt have mine long enough, but i still would'nt bother switching over to H4.

 

thanks 84 1le, i bought some xenarcs a few months ago, but havent installed them. glad i have confirmation i made the right decision.

 

I've read the same thing, but mine have lasted more then 2 years. Well worth the $$$.
