Maybe somebody bought some Silverstars and returned their stocks in the Silverstar package, and then you came along and bought it...

were both bulbs blue tinted? Hyperwhite bulbs generally have a thin layer of blue paint on them and usually have a silver tip.

yyeah were the bulbs the same in looks and model code on thebulb?

LOL, maybe you just reinstalled your stock bulb again.

I just but in my Silverstars 30 minutes ago... I wasn't impressed at first, then I drove to rent a movie and I noticed the light is a lot cleaner... and the light spread is a lil wierd?:confused:


BY the WAY BULBS WERE A BIATCH TO INSTALL. I cursed for straight 10 min. cramming my hand past the power steering res.:mad:

Question... was I supposed to regrease the bulb terminals or is putting them in clean fine?

I personally don't think the grease is a problem..... if you read your manual you would have found out that you can lift the power steering resevoir UP and out of the way to change the front left bulb ;)

You also need to be sure not to touch the bulb itself with your fingers. The oil off your hand can mess up the bulb. I always use rubber gloves or something. Just what I've experienced. :)

with practice, you'll get better at it. The first time I changed my headlights, it probably took me about a half hour to do the drivers side one.....now I can change that one in about 2 or 3 minutes.

NewbieCivic 11-17-2002 04:19 AM

i checked the both bulbs...and they are both the same....but i dont really seem to mind the yellow tint cause u cant really see it unless u really really look hard...what worries me the most is that the passenger side light is brighter than the driver side light..any ideas on what it is? or how can i fix that?
