New Headlights!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

87Silvy · 10-12-2003, 12:19 PM

Just got a pair of the Sylvania Silverstar's, and man, what a difference! A buddy of mine works at the local Autozone here, they listed for $25 a headlight, I got them for $10 a piece! They give that similar HID look and provide good lighting at night.

**swervin ervin** · 10-12-2003, 01:25 PM

The Silverstar's are bad to the bone.

gldevall · 10-12-2003, 02:01 PM

For 10 bucks each?? Sounds like they are going out the back door to me.

gldevall · 10-12-2003, 03:18 PM

I'd pay $30 for a set

**old Rusty C10** · 10-12-2003, 06:53 PM

784X4GUY · 10-12-2003, 07:30 PM

They are better than their cool blue model and about equivelent to the higher priced HID types in brilliance at about $700 savings.

gchemist · 10-13-2003, 01:51 AM

I paid $25 each too.

87Silvy · 10-13-2003, 11:32 PM

I'll see what I can't do, maybe I can get some more.

gldevall · 10-14-2003, 08:40 AM

Cool, let us know.

79BIG10 · 10-14-2003, 12:50 PM

78SilveradoSWB · 10-14-2003, 02:35 PM

I think we might get 87Silvy's friend in trouble at Autozone when we drain their inventory of Sylvania Silverstars for $10

a pop

drex · 10-15-2003, 01:14 AM

C&C Chevy · 10-15-2003, 10:39 AM

C&C Chevy · 10-15-2003, 10:50 AM

Lo beam lamp is H4656ST.

Hi/lo beam is H6054ST.

87Silvy · 10-21-2003, 12:15 PM

Sorry guys, said he couldn't get anymore. I think he just told me that because the manager was standing next to him. I'll keep trying though!

KShortell · 10-22-2003, 09:12 AM

Cool! I've seen 'em advertised, just not in person. So, they're sealed beam headlights, too, huh?...

crackajacka · 10-22-2003, 11:10 AM
