    Has anybody used the sylvania silverstar headlights? Are they worth the 25.00 bucks each

    The short answer is "YES". On dark nights, you will see lot clearer and further. I have them on my '73 Stang conv. Best low cost thing I have done.

    I use them and they are great. They put out a white light as opposed to the yellow light on the stockers.

    I have them in my Jeep since it has the old sealed beams. We installed one silverstar and compared the light to the halogen. It makes the halogen look yellow. They work really well for the money and arent illegal or dangerous to other drivers like the aftermarket junk conversions.

    You may want to consider doing the headlight relay upgrade. It will get full battery voltage to the lights which will really brighten things up.

    I've been eyeballing those for a while as well. Good to see all the positive feedback on them.

    Jamie; do you have the relay mod done on your car? With the relays and the silver stars, it works very well.
