SKperformance Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 sorry to say but the silverstars are pretty much as good as you can get before having to get hids one question is how long have you had the silverstars in as they take a week to acheive full brightness when i first changed them in i went back to my wholesaler and ripped at him for sellingme some overpriced crap 2 weeks later i ate my words as they got much brighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 i tried around 15 diff brands they all burned on me after 3-15 weeks, but the last one is good for around 6 month already, so i would recommend MTECs, really nice brand and very reliable, i hope to switch to HIDs soon, in research to find hi/low HID system now and i'm thinking about this one http://www.globalpremier.com/h4bixenonhid8000k.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromiez Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 i had my silverstars in for awhile, they do a decent job. maybe i got to re aim my headlights cause they seem quite low...any one know how to do that?? cause on my car i dont see ANYTHING that has to do with aiming headlights yeah i heard about those mtechs, apprently theyre better then PIAA in japan, i'll give it a try. what kind did you get? i want something that a nice pure white, i dont really want these colored blue ones i seen on hondas and crap. i just bought some blubs off ebay, apprenntly some european lights that produce 4800k which is about the same as HID.

SKperformance Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 4800 k is just a colour you can get the same by putting a dark blue glass over a candle try it and you will never want a bulb with a coating abain as you will see the drasctic reduction in light emitted candle power or lumens is what you really want to know which is the measure of light emmited but very few if any bulbs show that rating you would have to incerase the power drastically to give any light equal to a yellow looking bulb as the blue hue is the yellow being filtered out and al the light for the raod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
