Hey guys... I am looking at changing out my stock headlight bulbs and I am looking for some input.

I am torn between either PIAA or SILVERSTAR ULTRA...

Does anybody have experience with either?

Save your money and get HID, Silverstar burn out really quick (don't know about PIAA). Just my opinion.

 

[abadfish]

I've had both. They're both very comparable except that Sylvania is much cheaper.

my silverstars on my car back in the day and my bike last a good time, and were bright. never tried PIAA, but theyre just as good a brand

 

[infamous_6969]

So there is more experience with the silverstar and they are cheaper... IS it worth the money to get the HID rather than the Silverstars Ultra

Hell yes.....

thats a matter of how much night riding you do bud, for me, not much so its not worth it.

 

[infamous_6969]

What kind of Silverstars do you/did you have on your bike?

 

[LegendaryAcs]

get HIDs! you wont regret it..esp if you do a lot of night riding...o yea..buy them from me hahaha.

dont quite remember, but it was expensive, it was like $20+ for one.

yeah thats about right i bought one a couple months ago because my blue ones burnt out. No problems thus far. It is only a little brighter then stock and is more of a true white color just bought it until i can get more blue bulbs.

I am thinking about getting the SIlverstar Ultra and doing the MOD until I have the cash to get the HID's after I see if I want them.. Those bulbs are $50/set. They say that they use 55watts but put out that of a 110watt bulb. I think it was 4000k..

HID HID HID....trust me save some cash for a month or so and buy HID's. You will be happy.

I have the Sylvannia. I like them. The most white bulbs out there for the price. $50 for the pair compared to over $100 for the PIAA (Those are Canadian funds). The sun does not go down here during the summer until 10-11pm and up early(never really all that dark out). So for the price of HID's I'd rather spend it on other things for my bike.

dude get mtec's there in here somewere and they look awsome.

Silverstars leaked out in my Prelude back then. I had a white glaze on one of my headlight that looked horrible and limit the light output on that side. I had to put the headlight in a oven to take it apart to clean it. I would not buy Silverstars again.

I have the regular silverstars on both my car and the rr, but i also get them for free. I havent had a chance to check out the silvestar ultras yet (im not sure about this, but i dont think they have the h7 version out yet). If you have extra cash, def get the PIAA bulbs, they are amazing and will last a lot longer, not to mention they are a lot brighter to. If you want the best, get HID.

 

[abadfish]

FWIW, the sylvania bulbs I used were the SilverStar. No problems with them whatsoever.

The PIAA's I had were the Extreme White. I really like this bulb but its expensive.

 

[snikwad]

abadfish, you and your username are the sh1t

the sh!t the sh!t the sh!t.... yeah, fuk yeah


yeha im drunk, so what.? who want some

I've used both sets, not on my bike, but in my jeep. Fortunately, I run HID's on my bike (definately the way to go). The PIAA's did last longer than the Sylvania's, but hey, thats the extra you pay for. If your looking for a unique Kelvin (color) range, you'll be better off getting the PIAA's.
