Oem headlight bulb vs Silverstar?
Hi
Just wondering, without upgrading to a expensive replacement system, will just a replacement bulb (like silver star, etc) make any difference (brightness, color, range)? If so, who makes the best replacement and do they make parking light upgrades that match? Thanks.

Upgraded my headlights and fogs to Silverstars. Worth it. Much brighter. They only last I think 1/3 the amount of stock normal bulbs, but changing them ain't that difficult, especially the fogs. Not sure if they make parking signal bulbs.
What I don't like about LEDs are reports that it won't warm the lenses enough to help melt snow when it sticks.

You wont notice a huge difference until you change the housing. Silverstars are decent bulbs and will give a whiter light, but don't expect a big improvement in visibility.

Even silverstars in the stock housings suck. Its just a bit brighter whiter suck. If you want to go cheap get the h6024 silverstars and some h13 to h4 adapters. Nit a ton brighter but much better light coverage and like 60 bux.
