Talking New Headlights!!!

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.

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

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

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!
