    Where to buy Osram Silverstars?

    Don't want Sylvanias. They have that bluish tint to them.

    Amazon perhaps if you can't find them locally.

      ^ Osram silverstars, not sylvania.

      I bought a set from http://suvlights.com. sites down for maintenance for the moment though.

      They also stock a pretty wide range of fog light bulbs.
      I don't always wreck cars, but when I do I wreck them into trees.

        Exactly. Thanks for the link. I'm getting a much better set of Ellipsoids for my E34 and was thinking of using these. I currently have a 55w 5000k DDM HID set in a not so clean set of Ellipsoids and the light output is just so-so. Don't know if it's the headlights or the HID's. I would rather see the road than look cool. :p

            Nope. Closest one according to their website is 380 miles away.

                They're different. Osram is the parent company to Sylvania and, the Osram bulbs are non-coated which makes them seem to put out slightly more light in a whiter color.

                  The sylverstar exremes (2Xe) are blue tinted but give off an extremely bright truly white light when on they only last about 18 months though(lows) because they do burn a little hotter than standard bulbs but they are the truest white non 5000k (roughly depending on brand and wattage) non hid I have seen replaced every headlight in every car I own except my HID lows in my e30 and have been extremely pleased
