Autozone is running a deal on them now for cheap, can anyone tell me if they are worth the cash or not? I personally think I have very poor nighttime visibilty. Thanks!

sylvania silverstars are definitely worth the cost, they are way better than stock or those xenons. i'm not sure if anyone else has this but mine has a bit of a purple shine to it in which i really like...

I just got em, look good in the garage but need to wait for the sun to go down...Autozone has a 2 dollar off thing when you buy them and a mail in 5 dollar rebate. I got highs and lows. How do you adjust your headlights?
And now my OEM foglights look like crap in comparison...anyone got good bulb suggestions for those? -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

I've got them in my high, low, and fogs and they are really nice. I've had them for around 2 months and they haven't burned out on me yet so I recommend em!
J-Type is right, my lowbeams also have a sort of purple tint at certain angles. --------------------  |

[right][snapback]335708[/snapback][/right] If you look at the back of your headlights, you'll see little screw things coming out of them. Philips I believe. Take a screw driver (I prefer a rachet with a bit at the end) and adjust them to where they seem best. There's a technique to it but I don't remember exactly what it is anymore. If I find it, I'll post. |

The ones for mine are H3. That's for a '99, but I'm pretty sure they're the same for a '95. Does anyone know if they're different?
