Silverstar commercial
Speaking of dumb commercials, anyone see the Silverstar commercial, where
buddy looks like he's going to drive into some pedestrians, even with his new blue headlights. They compared worn out headlights to new blue headlights... too bad they didn't compare them to new normal headlights for a fair comparison |

Anyone have any experience with them? |

Anyone have any experience with them? Ask Daniel Stern (automotive lighting expert) what he thinks of silverstar. There's a pre-canned answer on his website, which is a lot nicer than what he posts on Usenet about blue bulbs. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...good/good.html |

Sylvania Xtravision (in the pink-and-black package), Osram Super and SilverStar(outside North America only!); Philips High Visibility (North America), Premium and Vision Plus (outside North America); Narva RangePower are the ones to look for. (Obviously I don't care about the "for-looks-only" blue things. But at least I know to be sure to look for the Osram SilverStar and not the NA market Sylvania ones, thanks) |

That way when you pay more for your bulbs, you can get more, other than a short-lived overpriced piece of trash. |

Those options are these (or did I miss something?): "Sylvania Xtravision (in the pink-and-black package), Osram Super and SilverStar(outside North America only!); Philips High Visibility (North America), Premium and Vision Plus (outside North America); Narva RangePower are the ones to look for." Right? |
