Stereo & Electronics - Xenon HID headlight bulbs any good?(search is down...again)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Xenon-HID-Head-Light-Combo-98-99-00-01-02-Chevy-Camaro_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQitemZ1400 95902754QQrdZ1

Just looking for something better than stock(stock ls1 is tons better than lt1) dont' want to blow 300 on HID"s.

Are these safe?
Are they brighter?(throw and overall)
Anybody else run these?

Those are just regular bulbs painted blue. They won't be any brighter, just whiter/bluer (due to the tint, which actually reduces output).

If you really want brighter bulbs and not just blue tinted ones, try to find GE NightHawk or Phillips VisionPlus.

Here is a good link on bulbs:
http://www.danielsternlighting.com
The products section has some good descriptions:
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/products/products.html
Scroll down for the descriptions. That site doesn't have bulbs for a Camaro, but the information is still useful. There is also a FAQ section, but its currently down.

Also, for which car are you looking to buy bulbs?

Thanks for the links.

I"m looking for my 99 camaro z28.

check this guys site... he's a member and sponser http://www.ledgauges.com/

That looks like HID , I dont' want that.

How about silverstar? Or not worth the money?

IMO silverstar is d ef not worth the money...my $20/per fog light blew out in a months time...im probably going back with the stockers!!!

your not gonna find any bulb's that are really worth a shit.. most bulbs like the silverstars arent much brighter(some are dimmer than stock) and almost all of them blow out quick, especially the ones with transluecent blue paint.. if it was my money I would keep the stock none colored ones, and save up for some HID's

So it isn't just my friends with the shitty quality bulbs. LOL.

I got zenons for my fogs and DRL's and they all blew with in 2 weeks and I hardly drove the car.

:eek2: holy piss dude, i got silverstar fogs, lows, and highs, and nothing's blown. they've been on since maybe....i dunno...last august? still goin strong. i even got the ones for my drl's and turn signals and the drl's only blew when my side markers were leaking (got the clear aftermarket ones).

So there is nothing better, silverstar is pretty good about giving replacment and/or sounds like you got some bad ones new.

I bought a kit for my LT1 to replaced the sealed beams. The blue xenon bulbs with the kit were supposed to be 65 and 80 watts respectively. I couldn't believe how higher wattage bulbs could give less light than the old yellowish sealed beams but they do. I can barely see a glow on the pavement from them. I'm going to save up and try the Silverstar Ultras in the hope of getting something a little better than stock. These Xenon blues were a step backwards.

Fixed. I hate it when people call it Advanced, or worse, Autozone. (I work there, btw)

I've had Silverstar Ultras in my car for about six months now, and I'm very pleased. They are 300% better than the stockers. They illuminate the road and the side of the road a whole helluva lot better than anything else besides HIDs that I've seen yet.

Actually, on dark country roads, I don't use my brights anymore, because the Ultras project just as far, and also light up the sides, so I can see if any deer are thinking about jumping out. I guess that I need to upgrade the brights to Ultras.

Part numbers anybody for low,high,fog?

This is the best investment i've made on my daily driver... I would say the improvement is almost 80% better vision at night. Even with projector lenses, i get flashed often... If you dont want them this blueish PM me. I'll refer you to the seller of these HID kits.

$120 shipped w/ warranty! I will be putting these on EVERY car i ever own.

I completly disagree with putting HID bulbs into a headlight housing designed for halogen bulbs. The glare coming from them is outragous.

I spent quite a deal of time and money, creating custom headlights. They are BMW Bi-Xenon projectors inside of the headlight housing, accented with the Halo rings.

I would love to do more prototypes, and eventually production, but since time and since it would cost quite a bit of money in capital i can not do it.

I have the same silverstar low beams i did 2 years ago, i love them, +1 for not having to use high beams on country roads at night, so much brighter than stock. I also have the amber replacement silverstar bulbs for my sidemarkers(clear) and only blew one because it fogged up, but a drill took care of that problem. :devil:

go with the silverstars!

9006SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen
9005SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen

I got these it was 98 Bucks. On ebay it was about 80 to 85. So I just went ahead and got them. They had some hella xenon but these were blue tintied and kinda fake HID look ricey. And I don't like unwanted attention.

These bulbs are MUCH whiter than the normal silverstars I had in there(previous owner) and I took them out and put them in my daily driver. If anybody is intersted I might could do some beam shots.
