which Silverstars to choose

[coletrain]

There are soo many different types of Silverstars out there, and i have no clue which ones fit my 92 accord. What models/number or types work the best?

On USDM Headlights

High Beams 9005
Low Beams 9006

On JDM

High H1
Low H4

9006 for low beam.
But all the silverstar suck. They dont make your car's
headlight brighter or whiter. Its still the same. Just get
some HID headlights, or the adapter.

Dude, don't even waste your money on those gack (*** + wack) ass bulbs. Head to Strauss Discount or Pep Boys or w/e and get some I think its Phillips or Sylvania Cool Blue or Blue Vision 9005s.

To utilize 9005s in a 9006 socket, you must shave down the tabs within the power connection on the bulb, a piece of plastic trim preventing the use of that bulb. Upon comparison of your stock 9006 low beam bulbs and the 9005s you might purchase, you will notice the difference and thus will know what part to shave off.

If necessary I can post in more detail for you. I'm sorry but I have no pics comparing the output, but having these bulbs in both cb7s that I've owned, I can tell you there is no ricey blue output whatsoever and great output on the road ahead and signs.

br0nx,

Can I do something similiar with my JDM headlights? They use H4's. I dont want to get an HID kit because of the glare problems. Right now I have the Silverstars on my car and they are okay, i could use more light output tho.

Bronx, please post more...i'm interested. So, are 9005's brighter than 9006 bulbs? I guess that would make sense since those are what go in the high bright socket, but still, post more on this please. Is this hard to do?

BTW, i think silverstars are good bulbs and do put out a lot whiter light than halogens or cool blues

9005s are brighter, I believe this is because they are made for high beam applications and they don't have the coating on the tip to reduce light output.

Also, its not even a 5min diy to convert the bulb socket to make them fit. You will be modifying the socket on the bulb, not the harness, wiring, or anything on your car.

Silverstars may be good bulbs, but IMO they are not better than what I am running, I've been parked next to a cb7 w/silverstars and they looked stock. Also the bang for buck is alot better w/the bulbs I posted. Lastly, the 9005 silverstars burn out quickly I've heard.
