Review on πŸ’‘ Sylvania 9005 SilverStar Ultra Halogen Headlight Bulbs - High Performance Automotive Lighting (Pack of 2) by Darren Boogie

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as bright as they say.

Not very bright. Note. I also have regular clear Sylvania 9005 bulbs and they have lasted me for over three years. In fact, those old standard Sylvania bulbs lasted about 10 years before dying and dimming, and were only about $7 each. Then I pay about $30 for these premium Sylvania Silverstars and am very disappointed because they are not as bright and the aperture is worse. Maybe because the manufacturer puts this blue tint at the end, which is supposed to cloud the distance view rather than help it. With the old bulbs I could literally see a few miles on a clear night. This is not possible with a silver star. My advice - take LEDs, they are much better.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Difficult to say
