Unless you buy the Bosch (or equilivant) conversion kit though you won't be able to use those type of bulbs. They don't make the Silver Star in sealed beam types I don't believe.

I'll see if I can find a dealer.

I thought I had a connection, but the guy can't remember the name of the place he bought them from *doofus*. I'll keep looking and let you know.

I saw a demonstration with the Cool Blues and I wasn't impressed. Compared to the Eurolite Fusion bulbs that I have on the Sunfire, the light hardly looked any different than stock. The Silverstar according to Sylvania is the brightest one they have. I guess we'll have to see.

Alright, here's the story...Sylvania is not currently offering the Silverstar H4656ST bulbs in Canada. They have plans to bring them north of the border but the date has not been set yet. Right now we are looking at the earliest being November. So that's the bad news.

The good news out of that is that they will have them here eventually. If you are really anxious you can always order them south of the border and have them shipped up, but it's financially not a good idea...The Silverstar 9007ST bulbs (like the Sunfire would use) are available in Canada, but they retail for $40CAD right now. I imagine the 4656 bulbs will be about the same price. I suggest just sit tight and I will check back in a while to see about the 4656 availability.

*shakes head again* Paul...I could of told you that! Silly guy...I saw them at the AutoShow and the demonstration for the Cool Blue 9007's and the regular 9007 was so minimal. My jaw almost dropped to the floor when they told me how much they wanted for them. If you want a noticeable difference...Eurolight Fusion is the only way to go.
