 Sylvania Ultra November 2, 2008
Pocketchange (Not in front of a TV!)
After locating ceramic sockets and the Ultras I'm now able to say I'm a happy camper until the LED headlamps come in the next year (or so) to add to the headlight bulb parade. Ultras are better than the 100/50 watt examples because of the friendlier visible (light) spectrum and less offensive to oncoming traffic. Aiming is easy with the eyelid bulb (element) shade and using the garage door as a target was helpful in getting adjustment.
If catching up with the new DOT standard is on you mind, this fills the bill in spades!

Not just a whole lot of color temperature difference than OEM, but at 3100K that's getting close to all you can squeeze out of an incandecent bulb. They are slightly "whiter" than OEM bulbs and I have noticed they do seem to project wider, and maybe just a little farther than my stock bulbs in a '06 Nissan Frontier. If you don't want to upgrade your whole light assembly then I believe these are the best option at the present time.
 Very bright, but not for very long. August 21, 2008

I purchased these very expensive replacements because they were rated top in brightness and I was very pleased with the results. These bulbs were top notch... until my driver-side dim burned out in less than a year. I thought it might be a fluke, so I replaced it (even more expensive to purchase them singly) and was happy again for six months, then the passenger-side dim burned out. Now I am no longer pleased with these bulbs. I've purchased extra bright replacement headlights before for my other vehicles and they lasted years. This is the first time I've bought a bulb and discovered it's designed to burn out quickly. I don't know if it is poor engineering, or like household lights they are made to have a short life, but I will not buy any more and I definitely do NOT recommend these.
 Terrible! Don't waste your money! August 9, 2008

I bought these cause I was tired of my dim old headlights. The brightness on these was excellent... but only for 6 months. They both died and within a week of each other. I went to parts store to complain, but apparently they only have a 3 month warranty. Convenient. The guy behind the counter said that his brother had the same problem... maybe has something do do with them burning so hot. I don't know about that, but I bought the cheap ones and they work fine.
 Very happy with these bulbs June 2, 2008

I've had the regular Silverstars on my two previous trucks, and after owning my current truck for a year with stock bulbs, I decided to upgrade. Instead of going with the regular Silverstars again, I decided to give the Ultras a try. I only changed my headlights, but decided to wait on my foglights and see if I liked them. There's a noticeable difference in color, it's brighter, whiter, and a very crisp clean color, not too annoying. I've had them in for about 2 weeks, and have been bright lighted once on a dark 2-lane road. Now I need to go buy the matching foglight bulbs, and I would definately buy these again!
