    One nite shot

    Just bored so took a pic. I recently installed the Euro grills (thanks Greg), the MHW smoked turn signal lenses, Sylvania Silverstars, finished my brake job (gotta re-bleed, sux) and put the Bridgestone REs on the Borbets. I like the way the tires grip, but damn they look balloony.

      In my opinion, not blue at all. Just very white. And I think they do make a noticeable difference. I am going to get some for the fogs as well.

        RE750's? What size?

        The Sylvania ones really aren't too bad, but the blue coating makes them look, well, you know. The Osram ones illuminate even better thanks to a clear glass.

          205/55-15. Really are a great tire, but like I said, the sidewall is taller than the Dunlop SP8000s that were on before. I like the profile of the Dunlops, but the turn in and lateral grip is better with the Bridgestones. Looks ain't everything. ;)

            I think I might grab a set of the Sylvania Sliverstars for my euro ellips. See how they perform.

            Your car looks extremely nice.
            The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                  So clean, how do you like the Sylvania Silverstars, a little bluish? You have to get black spoiler clips.

                    I would really reccomend the Osram Silverstars with the euro ellips, they're great. There's a bunch of places online you can buy them, or Greg sells them. You just can't pick them up at your auto parts store. They really are ncie though.

                      I have relays e-codes and osram silverstars on my jetta and its amazing. Its super white (you can tell its not stock) but no blue bulbs. They look $$$

                        Not sure of the price diff, but seriously the Sylavania versions are NOT blue. They are not the blue coated ricer bulbs. If they were, I would NOT have them. I would have returned right away.

                        Most guys here say the Osrams are better though. Like I said, I would guess they cost more, but hey, it's only money, right? I am happy enough with the Sylvanias, and I do have the H4/H1 lights. They are what makes the big difference. Sooo much better than the sealed beams.

                          Flash night shots = :down:

                          Of course the car looks great. But the bulbs look blue to me, shrug.
