OneBadSSS Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ok, so I got my $50 cash card rebate from Cingular in the mail today so I decide to go splurge on Sylvania SilverStars for the SSS. I found the Low's and High's no problem, but the Sylvania "Bulb size finder" @ PEPBoys listed the turn signals as 3157's, but all I could find were 3057's and 3357's. Are either of those two bulb sizes acceptable substitutes? I compared the bulbs and visually there appears to be no difference between the 3 different types.Also, do you guys who ahve changed to SilverStars recommend changing my DRL's to the SilverStar amber bulbs as well as my turnsignals? Are they the same bulbs?..thanks in advance for any info/help you guys have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigW Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I left the DRL stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 The only Silverstars I have in my rig are the high and low headlights. I do have amber DRL's, but they are not Silverstars. I thought Silverstars were only headlights bulbs? Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 3357's should work for you, I believe the only difference is the wattage. It's kinda like 168 vs 194 , same bulb only I believe the 194 is brighter. Do a google on it you'll find some info out there. Later Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssfromsd Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Good choice on the silverstars. Mine look great (even better considering the deal i got, basicallly a buy 2 get 2 free, the local checker auto had it one day) but they look great with cleared headlights.

Barney Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Unfortunately, the Silverstars only come for the High/Low and the amber 3157 signal lights. The 3157a look blue unlight but then go yellow. Slyvania says it gets rid of the "Fried Egg Look" when you look into the headlights. I have contacted Slyvania there is no plan for the 4157DRL or 3157DRL at this time. I changed to both H/L and amber and am very pleased over the price of HID, My original plan. Personally I went to the local Advanced auto and put APC blue bulbs in both my back uplights and DRLs. I really like them and the 2packs only cost 6.00 Looks great but I have a Blue SS. It really sets off the truck in the parkinglot when you hit the unlock on the remote. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I just bought some sliverstars today, I can't wait until it gets dark out to see how they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBadSSS Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I just bought some sliverstars today, I can't wait until it gets dark out to see how they work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You will love them! The light they through out is much brighter and whiter than stock. They are definately worth the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalms02 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I had the Silverstars in my blazer, and they burned out real quick! I had the silverstars in my headlights, and I think my fog lights (but I could be wrong about the fog lights) and they both burned out a lot quicker than the regular bulbs. I was very dissapointed in the Silverstars. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
