Is it worth the money to switch from Sylvania Silverstar headlights to the "Ultra" version?

Question

I own a 1998 Saturn SL1 and have had Sylvania Silverstar headlights in it since the winter time (roughly 9 months). They were a great improvement from the stock headlights, both on look and visibility. I much prefer the "white" of the Silverstars to the "yellow" of the OEM headlights. I have been seeing the Silverstar Ultra headlights recently though, and I am wondering if a switch is worth it. The Silverstars cost me $39.99, and the Ultras will cost me another $49.99, probably $100 because I want to replace my high-beams as well (which are currently still the OEM bulbs). The details on the back of the package say I will only be going up about 100k though, whereas the original switch from the OEM headlights took me up almost 1000k. Will I even notice a difference? And if not, what other quality, bright-white headlights can I purchase? The high price tag on the Silverstars compared to OEM headlights cause me to be a little cautious before I break out my wallet. Thanks for your help.

Its seem you are watching your spending.  If the current bulbs you have on the car is working fine.  I would just leave it alone, and send me your $$!  I have the Silverstar on my Suzuki XL7 and like it very much over stock.

Answer 4

I'd be careful too, I've heard plenty of stories of Sylvanias or even other aftermarket bulbs dying fast and between a long lasting yellow bulb and a super white one that costs more and dies in 2 months I'd take the ugly yellow.

If you find some bulbs that hold up or the sylvanias do good for you.

Answer 5

just get HID 150 ebay
