What are everyone's opinions on these bulbs: Silverstars and all the different kinds of PIAA bulbs that you can get?

Black97civic · 07-05-2006

I will tell you what 99% of the people will say.

Silverstars FTW.

The rest are alright, but silverstars are pretty much the only thing that is better than stock besides HID's.

The silverstar line of bulbs is great, especially for an auto parts brand. They are 99.9% better than stock.

ditto on dat noise. Everyone i speak to says Silverstar FTW!
I will be buying a set either when mine blow or i get a job.

I have had the same set of piaa's sence 98 in my car.

Swifty1638 · 07-05-2006

I had silverstars in my accord, before i had hids, they own. Right now, i have them on my dsm, till i got into that front end crash. But, if I don't go hid soon, i'll get them again. The light output of them exceed stock a million times over, especially aimed up just a SLIGHT bit.

Didn't Enes have a set of Silverstars melt in his car a couple years ago?

Silverstars melted the electrical plugs on my galant.

If anyone wants a set of silverstars that came off my 01 galant, they are sitting in my garage because I can't use them.

Silverstars are also known not to last very long, so you have to keep buying a 35 dollars worth of bulbs every six months.

Swifty1638 · 07-05-2006

mine lasted over a year.

Sliverstars all the way yo

I put those in my truck last winter. They work awesome, but I've already had to replace one. I wasn't too happy about that. Especially for the price I paid.

**Kracka** · 07-06-2006

The more light output the shorter the life, Slyvania even says they won't last as long. I haven't had any burn out on me, I had them in my DSM for over 2 years. I installed them for highbeams on my S2k (HID low) and love them again. I plan on buying them for whatever car I own, they are great and worth the extra price.

**asshanson** · 07-06-2006

Any other experience with PIAAs? Not worth it? Why are they more (like $50-$90 per pair)? Anybody with a set of H3 Silverstars laying around they want to get rid of?

**Halon** · 07-06-2006

I did really like them when they were in my eclipse, but they must run hotter or something because when I bought them for the galant, the plastic plug that plugs into the bulb just melted after about 3 months. Had to buy all new plugs from mitsu.

**Kracka** · 07-07-2006

eBay has some pretty good pricing on Silverstars, I got 2 brand new H1 bulbs for $25 shipped.

NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE · 07-07-2006

I like the bulbs from Luminics, they aren't very expensive, aren't cheaply made, and last a long time.
