A little help with some lighting ideas

Ok so I want to get new headlights. I want the brightest headlight I can get without going with HIDs. I searched and checked out this website

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

I also saw that another member on here said to use Sylvania Silverstar H6054ST, but on that website it says to use H4656ST Silverstars.

So which ones should I go with? Is the rest of the info on that list correct, because I want to get LED license plate lights and interior lights too.

Thanks in advance

The first link works, but not the second.

I'm very happy with my SilverStars, BTW.

Low beam = H4656ST
High beam = H4651ST

Re: A little help with some lighting ideas

Sounds good. Are they just a direct replacement or is there any extra wiring needed? How much brighter are they than the stock headlamps? Im probably only going to get the low beams for now because im basically broke lol. I just need something better for driving at night, I ca barely drive with what I have now.

Direct replacement. Definitely brighter than OE.

Re: A little help with some lighting ideas

Another thing. It says the license plate lights are 194s and the Dome Light inside is a 211-2. I want to get bright white LEDs for those, would they just be a plug-n-play type of bulb too?

Re: A little help with some lighting ideas

stock replacements, P&P.Next to HIDs, silverstars are about as bright as you can get for a OEM type.

Im using a 10mm single LED for the lic.James & i are both using a 36 LED CB for the dome light.Mine are super white.
