BEFORE AND AFTER

 

hey, pretty good. Those are the low beams right? Makes me just wanna get those instead of worrying about some harness.

 

nice, how much for em? and what kind of bulb thing.. i want to get some of those too lol but iono what size or whatever =X

 

are these the DOT approved bulbs?

 

bulb info on the tc can be found at the faq site: http://home.cfl.rr.com/icdedppl/faq.html#c1

yes, silverstars are dot approved. you can find them at any auto parts store. they sell them in both high and low beam flavors. see the link above for bulb sizes.

 

yeah they are the low beams and they cost me $35 at walmart. They are DOT approved but I was not worried about that, what I was worried about was the harness. I didn't want to melt mine. I'll have these until I do a retrofit on them. Just waiting to have some days off to do it, It would be my 3rd retrofit...

I have had them on my tc since 100 miles. I have both brights and standards installed. They are just simply pure white. Housings look a purpleish. 100% reccomended!

 

Silverstars are legal and will not burn any harness, they work off the same watts, correct me if im wrong. These are probably the standard upgrade many people get. (Soon me)=)

 

you are not wrong

 

YES!!! exactly what they look like. =)

Had them for close to 2 months now. no problems with them at all. MUCH brighter than luminics. PepBoys is having them on sale right now for 19.99 after coupon and rebate. Looks like I'll be getting another pair tomorrow for future use! =)

 

By the way..for those who asked..

Low beams are 9006
High beams are 9005

 

okk since we're all talking about headlights which do you think would be better the silverstar or one of these two?....
The PIAA- $87.50.... http://www.shopatron.com/product/pro...PIA19616/353.0
or
Luminics- $24.95.... http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/hyper_white.php (free Shipping btw)

any opinions would be appriciated!

 

do not get PIAA or luminics. they both suck. luminics will melt your harness, and PIAA burns out to quick and are really expensive. i have HALO light bulbs in my car. they work perfect and have a more bluish tint to the light. i also have HALO yellows in my fogs and they light up like day... im also getting some NOKYA hyper yelllows for the highs, or maybe even some of those raybig racing green just for fun!!

 

For both you would need a new harness, Luminics already told me 20 bucks extra for it. Not sure how much with the other guys. Not only that, I also have been told that there is a decrease in light reflection because these bulbs rely on projection. I believe thats how it goes. Again im getting this info from reading. Also
anything more then 55w is it? will burn the harness. Luminics and all the others are inbetween..I want to go HID but still debating on price. But o well. to all their own.

 

yeahh i didnt know that i had to get a harness for them... i guess ill just get the silverstars... could someone tell me how much those are?

 

hmm.. ionno about luminics but.. PIAA never burned out on me.. HALO i had 7,000k HALOS? yeppz burned my harness like nothing.. switch back to my PIAA no problemo

 

silverstars are $35 at walmart. and maybe your local pepboys also has them on sale for the 20 w/rebate or whatever that guy above said.

 

You can find the pairs at Wal-Mart and AutoZone. Depending on where you go, you shouldn't pay more than $36-$39 a pair. The pairs cost cheaper than the singles. (Singles usually run about $19.99 a piece.) BTW- the pix above are correct. Don't be fooled by the second pic. (I know you might be thinking..."It looks darker then the first pic. Thus making the light whiter. ") SilverStars really do look that white.

 

Does anybody have a link for a DIY install?

 

well, there is DIY instructions in your manual. it shows a pic of you twisting the bulb in its housing and then pulling it out. i hope you can figure out the rest.
