Sylvania SilverStar lighting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought I'd share my latest experience- I'm pretty happy.
I couldnt find any XtraVisions for my Highbeams, so had to spend extra for the SilverStars, and WOW, I'm glad I did. Incredibly bright an white like the box says- they really look like HID's when I'm driving. The Low beam Xtravisions are BROWN in comparison, and the cheap standard halogens are even more of a joke. Spend $40 more and get your lights upgraded! Makes me feel like I've joined the 21'st century.

I to added Silver Stars to my truck, and they are worth the money. I am extremely happy with them.

**smokinn** · 11-16-2004, 08:29 PM

Can you post a link where to get them?

Thanks

Do they plug up to the stock wiring, or do you have to do anything extra ?
Either my eyes are going bad or the stock lighting on my 87 is terrible!
I have seen several posts about these but i haven't seen if they are a easy fix for my problem.

383drvr · 11-16-2004, 09:03 PM

All Auto stores carry them I believe. They plug in in 5 minutes to the factory stuff.

gchemist · 11-16-2004, 09:14 PM

I have them on my Dakota. Halogens on my Chevy. Once they go out I will upgrade to Silver Stars too.

87Silvy · 11-16-2004, 09:49 PM

I have the Silverstars on my '05 and my '87. They look great and put tons more light on the road over stock bulbs. Money well spent IMO.

76bonanza · 11-16-2004, 11:01 PM

Do they make them for the older 7"round lights also?

Yes, I have them on my 78.

Can someone post a link to these bulbs? I did a search on autozone and found nothing.

For our trucks you want sealed beam 6054 for 2 headlights or H4656 for 4 headlight for the high/low beams.

ElGracho · 11-17-2004, 01:11 AM

Oh yeah, H6024ST for the round dual headlight trucks...

I must had a puter brain fart.

gldevall · 11-17-2004, 02:29 PM

Walmart carries them too. Anybody tried them in a NBS Chevy with the 9006 low beams?

bluex · 11-18-2004, 12:57 AM

gldevall--I have them in the low beams on my S10, same thing. Much brighter than my "hyperwhite" high beams I have. I hardly ever use the highs anymore. Well worth the $$. When I get to driving the '78 more I will probably go with them on it too. I was gonna go a conversion to the H4's, but this sounds better from the responses.

ocbaud · 11-18-2004, 12:59 AM

i have them for the normal lights, havent gotten the bright lights yet. but i do like them a lot
