You can't get Osram Silverstars for US Ellips. They only come in H-Code (as far as I know... unless they've come out recently... which I doubt).

i thought osram was sylvania :?:

Not quite. The Osram silverstars are brighter and do not have a blue tint that the Sylvania has. The Sylvania is also not as bright as the Osram.

Someone who feels like getting more technical please jump in.

Osram is the parent company of Sylvania as well.

i want some bright ass bulbs without looking blue. untill i get hids that is.

what else is out there?

[Erick]

HIDs.

[kylebes1]

hids are at least a year away.

I am 18, and $400.00 for hids is not a wise idea.

I was crazy for installing a HU and Sub!!!

where and which ones?!

Mine were Hella brand, I bought them from http://www.classicgarage.com/ They are just normal bulbs but higher wattage. Very bright, and only like $10 a pair.

With the sharp beam cutoff of the ellipsoids I use the Silverstar 9006 high beams as my lows. It takes minor modification (Remove the ridges inside the plug and trim one of the three prongs) but otherwise fits right in. I get great light and the sharp cutoff saves oncoming traffic from glare.

Correction: The high beam bulbs I use are the 9005s.
