the ad says 20% brighter for $39.99 why not put a stock hi-beam light in the low beam side and get 70% more lumens than a low-beam light (1700 lumens vs 1000 lumens). thats alot more light for less money .

that 20% is vs a std silverstar bulb
or you put a silverstar ultra high beam bulb in your low beam socket for maximum pwnage

OK the new SS bulbs are in (installation was a snap), and in the words of the song, 'I can seee clearly now'...........Quite a difference from the standard bulbs.
Thanks for the help. I'm off this AM a '95 SSE with a siezed engine

Also remember this thread is 8 years old, and a lot can change in that time. SilverStars are no longer a favorite of the forum on account of their service life being unreasonably short now.

i woulnd say unreasonable, i get 3-5 years out of bulbs that are on all the time. there is a difference between the regular ones and ultra, which i dont buy the ultra. but the regular ones seem to be worth the extra to me
