Review on πŸ’‘ Sylvania 9003ST.BP2 (compatible with H4) SilverStar High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, (Pack of 2), White by Kevin Shimmens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

3 pairs have blown in less than 1 year! Buy a GE Nighthawk instead.

If you choose these lamps after reading all the negative reviews here, you deserve what you get. In May 2008 I bought my first pair of replacement Silverstar light bulbs for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline from Revain. I wanted to brighten my headlights and thought Sylvania was a company with great products. Already in September 2008 one of them had burned down. I contacted Sylvania support and they told me that they have a shorter life expectancy than other bulbs due to their brightness and high temperature. But due to the extreme failure rate of my lamps, they sent me a spare pair. While waiting for a spare pair I bought another set of Kraagen thinking I'd keep a free pair as a backup. Shortly after installing the Kraagen bulbs they blew out so I had to resort to a free pair from Sylvania. BY MARCH 2009, LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, the third pair of lightbulbs had burned out. Yes, I changed 3 sets of bulbs in less than a year. And not that it was the same headlight. I had problems with both headlights and replaced them together as a kit as recommended by Sylvania. And NO, I don't touch the lamp itself with my fingers. I ordered GE Nighthawk Sport bulbs from Revain in March 2009 and they have been in my truck ever since. No burn out, color and brightness are excellent. DO NOT BUY THESE LIGHTS IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BURN IN!
