well i work 2nd/3rd shift and where i live there is ALOT of deer. well my lowbeams i cant see deer unless they are like 100 feet infront of me. and when i have my highbeams on its good. but the people on the otherside of the interstate dont like that to much or people im passing :)

so im looking for the brightes headlights(lowbeams) for a 1g.
HID or anything i just need them asap.

link me to some stores selling the product you suggest also if you could please !
 
you should get some sylvania silverstar's there about as bright ad hid bulbs. i have them and i drove out to armada i seen like 4 deer (wish i had my gun).
 
errr i want the brightest i dont care what it costs not something thats just about as bright as.................
 
I have the Silvania SilverStars. I really like them alot. They are really bright crisp white light, with a tint of blue and sometimes at the right angle its a blue-ish/purple. It looks real cool. I paid $20 for each bulb. I didnt get the high beams b/c I thought I really didnt need them.
 
ok you aernt helping me to much heh.

i want to know the brightest headlights period... like what brand/type HID etc... 8000k 6000k all that.
 
Dude, two people just told you and you blew them off. SILVANIA SILVERSTAR bulbs are the brightest lights for our cars.

These bulbs are damn bright, enough that spending the $4-600 for a -good- HID kit is completely ridiculous... and Now that HID kits are illegal to sell, thats the only real option for "really bright" lights for our cars.

They make them for the popups. I run them now. I got them from the auto department at Meijer of all places. I had a kit on my car to run halogens and the output from it was pretty bad. I highly recommend the Silverstars.
 
I really like the Sylvania Silverstars. Here's a shot of them on my car, sorry there's no pic of how well they light up the road.

Yeah, a set of Hella European conversions, then Silver Stars. Even the "diamond" replacements on eBay are a huge step up from American standard sealed beams. And if you get _true_ 100W high beam bulbs (Philips, Bosch, OSRAM- NOT the Chinese "bluehidultraxenonplasma" horseshit bulbs), deer will run from the heat.
 
I also used the silver stars and have my popups down all the time. they shine pretty good even through the plastic.

I used Sylvania "cool blue". "Brilliant white light" (True.) #H4666 CB. (replaces H4666, H6545, H4666 XV, probably few others, including stock.)

They are higher wattage - 70W high, 60W low.

They're very noticeably brighter than stock. Haven't compared to any others.
They're not retarded blue lights, as it might suggest, but they DO have a weird bluish glow to them, but only on things projected (e.g. signs reflected far ahead). If you look directly at the headlights, they glow very white, no hint of blue. That's why I like them. :D

I'm assuming the replacement halogen bulbs for 92+ would yield identical results. If not, just return them.

These are cheaper at Murray's auto parts, compared to PepBoys and Wal-mart.

Once again, these are not rice. The bulb is just barely touched with blue tint to filter out the annoying yellow glow. Higher wattage finishes things off nicely. :thumb:

if anyone wants a set of cool blues for their 92-94 i'll try to dig mine out of the garbage. i'm glad to hear that they worked well on your frogeyed dsm, but on mine there was no discernable difference between them or any other sylvania light other than the price.
 
yeah most bulbs are just a different color. they aernt any brighter.

I can't vouch for 92+ bulbs. I'm only assuming it might yield identical results. Test, if not satisfied, return. Sealed lights are kick-ass for 90-91 though.
