I was messing around last night and ended up here.

Started reading about the new Silverstar halogen headlights. I seen Advance auto parts sells them, and well, to tell you the truth, I just had to have a set. Bought them today, and not cheap before I forget at 27 bucks each. Put them in this evening. A few minutes ago, after it got dark here, I took a test drive and they are awesome. A bright white light, not anything like the regular halogens. Not blue tinted like the Midnight Moose conversions I had in it. Are they brighter than the Moose lights? Not sure if they are brighter or not, but not blue tinted, just a bright white light.

I think they are keepers. It looks like I'm never satisfied with anything don't it? I guess I'm not in a way.

Are they brighter than the Sylvania Cool Blues?

i hope i'll find an HID upgrade to the newer burban front end i wanna get.

Big Paul · 02-10-2003, 08:38 PM

As long as they're composite there are tons of universals. I have yet to see a HID for sealed beams.

All I can say is, I hope I blind the hell out of all the ricers that's been blinding me all this time.

Neon, don't think so. But a wing is a good idea. Hey, I'm a carpenter you know. I can build a nice one. That might just be the ticket.

Izzy..The midnight moose lights are way brighter than the Cool Blues!!

LOHRTBT · 02-10-2003, 09:30 PM

I might have to try those out when my MM ones go.

*mike reeh* · 02-10-2003, 11:34 PM

whats wrong with police strobes? I would kill for a set. I want to put strobes in my front turn signals and maybe in the rear. but I probably wont cuz they are hard to find and expensive. But damn it looks cool at nite especially in big crowds like in the desert.......

Paul,

I just caught what you said. Why are you at Hi Rev Tuners site? Oh yeah, 4 bangers.

78SilveradoSWB · 02-11-2003, 12:04 AM

Yep, they are as bright as the HID's and cost less. A HID conversion cost about $700 and for under $60 you get the same effect.

mike i use to have strobes in the front bliners and in the rear.. they were fun but the control box got water in them and fried, have 2 more but havent installed them.

I would put police strobes on my truck no doubt. It would be cool to see one of our trucks sliding around a corner with the lights flashing, chasing someone in another car. That would make a good video... hint hint
