Default Pic of Sylvania Silverstar lights?

I heard some good stuff about the silverstars but I really want to see how they look on a real car before I buy them.

Does anyone have them installed on their car? Maybe you can take a picture and put it up here?

Thanks for your help

I don't have a digicam, but I can assure you that they look really good. They're white, and not blue like the stupid ricer POS bulbs out there...

I use them on my car, and I've seen them in a Civic. They look great and still put out a lot of light.

Go ahead and buy the Silverstars. Retail price should be around $40 for the pair. I highly suggest the 9005 conversion.

First impression after turning on the new lights: Holy sh*t. Wow.

Again, this was with the 9005 conversion. I'd assume the 9006 would look OK too -- should be brighter than stock, but not as bright as my lights right now.

OK, give me a few minutes and I'll take a picture of mine. I'm in a good mood, I just scrounged some rims.

Here you go. They are quite white. These are the sealed beam version, but the bulb version looks the same.

I used some wire cutters to cut the plastic, works really well. The only problem is these lights seem to burn out on a yearly basis. It's a hassle and it can get kind of expensive, but the extra light is worth it.

Once I figure out how to put pictures on this I'll post a 94 GSR with them.
