          Good lord, look at those H4 100/160w!!
          That may be reason enough to put my h4's back in (j/k). Not knowing shipping charges I bet Osram +50 H1 would be about the same as suvlights.com, however, I am gonna order me a 3 pairs of regular H1 80w, 100w, and 130w, and save big money over regular suppliers. Thanks for the site!

            Shipping is CHEAP! They quoted me 2.5 pounds for two pairs of bulbs to the USA, which is less than $5. Cheaper than the $6.50 suvlights was charging.

                Greg... 3 words... Sweet Jesus YES! They're over $40 from Suvlights.com including shipping.

                Greg gets the hookup!

                  I read that ORSAM and Sylvania are one in the same, but I am confused as to which specific bulbs you guys are talking about on suvlights.com.

                  Are you specifically talking about the "Sylvania Silverstar" in the bright white/blue section ($18/each), or the "ORSAM Silverstar" in the clear section ($12/each)? Or just something completely different? :roll:

                    What is the difference between the Sylvania Silverstar and the Osram Silverstar?

                    Osram Sylvania is one and the same company, within the US they use both Osram and Sylvania, outside the US its Osram. The Osram Silverstar is a clear bulb with Xenon gas boost to increase brightness up to 50% color is similar to standard halogen though it is slightly whiter. The Sylvania Silverstar is the same bulb but with an amethyst blue coating with 30% more light than standard halogen and 4000K light color which is comparable to Xenon/High Intensity Discharge Light Systems as seen on high end cars from Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Porsche to name a few.

                    Sylvania Silverstar is currently available in 9003/H4, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007 & sealed beam sizes, the Sylvania Silverstar is the Super White (blue/grey coated) version of the Osram Silverstar (clear) which is available in H1, H4, & H7. Osram Silverstar color is slightly whiter (very slightly) than regular halogen. We also have the Narva Range Power Blue bulbs are made in Germany and DOT compliant. The Osram Silverstar is E code (ECE Reg 37) but not tested for DOT compliance (FMVSS 108) since the bulb is made for the European market, but most likely meets US DOT standards if tested. All these bulbs are stock wattage so it will not have any effect on wiring.

                      Right... That is what I read... but the way they are talking about the lights above, would lead me to believe they were speaking of the "Bright white/blue" ones, but I am not sure, because calling them ORSAM doesnt really help much to differentiate between the various ones.

                        Osram own Sylvania but let's call Sylvania Silverstars the blue ones and Osram Silverstars the clear ones. I like the clear ones, they tested out VERY high in a euro independent test and they work well on my car as well.
