Advance Auto here in western PA has bright bulbs made by Hella, they're like $50 a pair, but the guys there say that they're even better/brighter than the others. In my parts sales experience (ASE certified), I've also found that Silverstars have serious longevity issues: 6 months you're lucky

nsmitchell · 06-13-2007, 03:16 PM

Are they Hella good?!

uncleyaris · 06-13-2007, 11:45 PM

What would be the best replacement bulbs to get other then the stock or HID's?

I'm curious about the Hellas as well. I'm interested because I can get the local and because they have a good rep for spotlamps on the offroad circuit. If anyone else has tried them on another car even please speak up!

hella is a very well established german company, I am sure all of their stuff meets high quality german standards, I had there headlight assemblys on my old golf and they were beautiful, a lot of the vw stock lighting I believe is also hella

How can you beat the price. I say give a try, not much to lose. If BRICK says they are ok I'm sold.

What can I say... I'm a dumbass!

The Sylvanias do look OK, but I paid $35.00 for my pair at Autozone. The Osram Silverstars are the best out there, and they are only like $31.21 a pair - shipped! I'm gunna scream now!

http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ just change currency to USD in the lower left corner of the site.

a guru of lighting over on importpassion.com was dissappointed with the osram and regular silverstars, both in light output and longevity. I am hapopy with my regular silverstars(the ones you have NS) and I have no problems...my first pair lasted 4 years up until last week, but I drive mostly at night coming home from work so I get more use than average drivers, plus I love me some HIGH BEAMS....(IN MY CIVIC, before I get railed about how I could have a yaris for four years...hehe)

I have heard very good things about the osram silvertars. I have used the sylvania silverstars and they were fine but they were coated and didn't put out as much light on the road. The last set I had in the VW were going strong at one year already still on the car when I sold it. Looking around on the web the 50+ osram like I have I see excellent ratings.

Shroomster · 06-23-2007, 10:43 AM

actually try looking into the phillips + seres i think they have a +150 or something where it burns almost as bright as average H.I.D.... the bulb is much smaller than regular to..

Here's that pesky thread! Taking the bumper cover off is the way to go on this.

Back from the dead!
