kyle0k Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 THIS IS NOT A AD http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2461801691 If i buy these what is the advantage of these over stock. I know htey arent as good as HID but obviously cost about 100 times less. Are they easy to install? and do they look better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 If you really want to improve over stock you should buy some Sylvania Silverstars. Do a search for them that should pull up plenty of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squarehat Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 If you want upgraded halogens, go with Sylvania Silverstars (or PIAA Xtreme White). I had a set of "blue bulbs" like that for one day in my old 3-Series. The dark blue coating really robs you of usable light by filtering out the red/yellow light coming from the filament. The 10 extra watts those have 65W vs. 55W for normal 9006, won't produce enough extra light to compensate for the filtered out colors. I drove on some back roads the night I put them in, and noticed my visibility had been drastically decreased. Look around for the SilverStars, Sylvania used to run rebates on them all the time. They're also fairly easy to find (I hear Wal-Mart carries them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 but what about these,will they do anything? they will probably burn out in 3-6 months and you will be left holding a dead bulb. Is there a replacement warranty in case of premature failure. Not to mention, you risk melting your wiring harness if you go with a higher wattage than what is OEM. I will venture a guess the 100w highs will cause you a meltdown. kyle, go with what we know. Silverstars or PIAAs. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
