damn, bulbs.com was superfast.
i ordered monday, and it was delivered today, tuesday.
But, Fing fedex left it at my door, which was locked seeing as i didn't think it was coming today.  I live on main st, and tons of people walk bye, mostly retarded kids.  I can probably say goodbye to the order

Buy Silverstars because that keeps a town in NH alive.

were they still on your doorstep Jay?  mine came way faster then I expected from that site too!

Bob.....no offense, but the town in NH can find another means of support.  Silverstars suck  :-P

I like silverstars for my high beams in my car, i forget what number they are prolly 9007 or something like that they double as my day time runners.  Osram doesnt make a bulb for the high beams but makes them for my projectors the combo together when on are so damn bright.  Ive had the silver stars in for about 8 months they are still working prolly because my high beams are never on and i really only drive at night for short periods of time

I'm assuming we're talking about the Sylvania Silverstars, right?  I've used them a few times, different cars, different bulbs, they're all great for a couple weeks, then quickly get dimmer and dimmer and dimmer 'til they're no brighter than stock, if not worse

yeah, deffinitely give it a try and let us know!  :mrgreen:

 maybe they've gotten better? that would be nice,  seeing as how they're a lot cheaper to get.  I know they've taken quite a beating in a lot of reviews for being no where near as good as the original Osram Silverstars
