realize that no bulbs were included...

It's not going to be plug and play though, especially if you didn't buy the plugs/harnesses.

I didn't get the plugs or harness so i went and got some wire crimps that fit and a friend and I hooked them up ghetto stylz yo. :twisted:

Did you buy OSRAM or Sylvania H1 Silverstars?

Last I knew, Sylvania does not make H code lighting, and OSRAM Silverstars are legal for use in europe only. Wal-Mart isn't going to stock them...

[bert]

the front of the plastic box reads SYLVANIA H1 ST
as well as Silverstar® High Performance Lighting...

the fine print on the back reads OSRAM SYLVANIA
Products, Inc. SYLVANIA is a registed trademark of
OSRAM SYLVANIA INC. Silverstar is a trademark of
OSRAM GmbH used under license. Made in Germany.

looks like OSRAM and SYLVANIA bulbs are
made by the same people--just the packaging is
different...

[nando]

it's not just the packaging, the sylvannia silverstars have a worthless blue coating on them, the OSRAM silverstars do not.

[Jordan]

Yeah, are the bulbs completely clear, or blue tinted?

[bimmerphile]

fuck, need we really go over this again?

[bert]

they're not blue--wouldn't have bought 'em if
they were...the best way to describe them
would be that they look like they've been dipped
in chrome...are these the real deal?
