Frankzao Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I ll grap some sylvania ultra silverstars for $30 soon.. Â Â I just got some of them!!! They are great!!! and bright!!!!! Â Now my clear parking lights don't match so I need to replace those bulbs. Â Mine were $40 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 NO frank, there not bright, they have less lighting then stock, rather then explain why your eyes trick you with the color difference and have you do a simple test to put it to shame, just search  now get your hids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 The only way to brighten halogens... is to increase wattage, increasing wattage increases heat and power draw... increasing heat and power draw melts shitty ass Mazda stock wires (BMW also ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 UNLESS, you go with HIR bulbs, about 60 dollars a pair shipped, but by far the best halogen performance, and its through research and technology, not ricey trickery and putting them in a box marked "type R" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troutman Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I dispute their claim a hotter filament doesn't equate to a hotter bulb. Â Now if they could use it to make a cooler, lower wattage and slightly brighter stock bulb I'd be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 troutman, HIR's are the real deal, I do not support HID's in grand cherokee's since it would look rice not fitting the charator, and the horrible optics, I have converted many including using them myself, they are the real deal. Â rice lights are garbage, the tinting just tricks your eyes, your actually seeing LESS, but the coronas close more so they remain more focused on the hotspots. Â if you ever watch a car with them coming down the road in the day time they are very very dim, yet hid's and even crappy halogens are clearly brighter. Â HIR's however make a huge difference, you can't tell during the day, and at night there the exact same color, and there at the same wattage, but, you instantly notice the light increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 The problem with 9006 is the metal coating on the tip. 9005 doesnt have it and it is much brighter with a little more watts. I would buy 9005s for lows if their lifetime was not that short.. Â I cannot see any improvement other than blue tint in silverstars, which would or would not make the actual light output dimmer.. The good thing is that they are 4100K so whiter (compared to 3200k halogens). I dont think they will cause yellowing.. BHR did you use HIR? The website looks like a scam.. Frank i checked ebay price is around 30-40.. I will immediately but white LEDs for markers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I don't dispute they are brighter, but if they are hotter they bring similar drawbacks to higher wattage bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 wait, so you can switch the high and lowbeam for brighter light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 troutman, thats the weird thing, They are brighter, but they only draw 55w, so you don't run into wiring issues, but they are actually cooler, just holding your hand near them you can tell a difference, the only thing is that it takes about 20 seconds for them to reach full brightness. Â lat, get HID's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginph Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 9006: 45W, 1000lumen 9005: 55W, 1800lumen  swap: http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Upgrade/More_light.htm  9005s are short life, around 100hrs i guess.. If u can find long life 9005 let me know..   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 That swap worked extremely well, I did it to my e30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 no, 9006 should be 55w, and 9005 be 65w. Â the 9005 swap is cheaper, but HIR's are still better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
