I had one headlight bulb burn out back in november, and replaced both of em with Silverstars. They looked a little whiter than plain bulbs but not hugely so. So now yesterday, a whole maybe 4-5 months later, one of the silverstars friggin burned out. I ordered a pair of Hella Xenon XP bulbs, so we'll see how they look and how long they last.

Then if I get my fog lights workin, I'll have all my lights!

 

Why not go with an HID conversion? I thought everyone had them now days.

 

if no HID conversion is in the plans, get a set of HOEN bulbs.

 

I had the same problem with mine but i atleast got 6 months

Yeah i dunno what happend, ive been looking into the hid conversion but i dont know if its legal in illinois

 

My siverstars in the Integra burned out ~every 10 months for 3.5 years. But I was using high-beams in the lows, and the extra light output and whiteness was well worth it. I always had a couple extra on hand - I would stock up when Autozone marked 'em down to like $12.95 every six months or so.

 

i have 4 9005 silverstars i dont need. h:

 

They've been hit or miss for me. I use stock bulbs for now but will be ordering an HID kit for the Vigor (and maybe Civic) this Spring.

 

hid kits :barf:

 

Yeah...they're terrible.

 

Because HID conversion is a couple hundred bucks and these Hellas were 12 bucks each. h:

Really though, my headlamp housings are kind of horrible anyway, HIDs probably wouldn't help too much. The '01-'05 headlamps are projectors and much better for a HID conversion.
