Outsource Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm intreested in getting some HID's in the near future, but was wondering what some have used to swap out the stock bulbs. I saw some Silverstar Ultra's at the store the other day. I believe it was the 9005 for the low beam bulb and 9006 for the high beam bulb. I also saw some Silverstar "Cool Blue" bulbs, with eh same numbers. Has anyone tried either of these, and if so, do you like them? Seems like a cheap upgrade while I contemplate getting HID's.

misterp Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) They're not any brighter, just a different 'color' a bluer light that some people prefer. I think the OEM Phillips illuminate better IMO. Also, zippy posted a long time ago some that he converted his headlights to H4 85/100, now that would be kick-ass improvement without installing HIDs but I don't know what the costs are. Mr. P.
