[tle037]

I have a 2006 SE T4R, 2x4

I have been trying to find Sylvania SilverStar for my head light replacement, but it does not seem like any of my local Auto part stores do not caring them in stock. Does anyone know where i can buy them online?
I live in SOCAL

any help is welcome

silverstars

I removed the bulb and it is a Philips H11-55W


I don't have DRL the only lights that are on are the yellows side ones.

I was looking for some place that carries the high performance bulbs.

i have always used silverstars in old Civic and Intrega

 

[Elton]

heres there new ones they came out with http://www.autobarn.net/sistultwpa.html
and the regular ones http://www.autobarn.net/hipehefo.html

low beams are a h11 and the high beams are 9005s

I don't even use the high beam, i want to replace the low beam which are H11-55W

Does any have PIAA's?

any other bulb suggestions?

Sylvania has a replacement guide online -

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/AutoLRG-Results.htm

According to it the lows are 9006 and the highs are 9005. Which is what I bought and they work great for the $ spent.

I don't think SYLVANIA makes Silverstars for H11. I know that PIAA makes them

OK, what is the difference between the Ultra and the Original?

They don't. And you are correct, '06 with projectors use H11 for low beams. 2003-05 used 9006 for low beams, non projector reflector housings.

As their ad says "whiter, brighter" --- or is that for Ultra Bright tooth paste?

Just seems like they really didn't do anything with this Ultra.

I think those are the same pictures they used for comparison shots with the original SS.

Whiter and Brighter, I didn't see any specs. What's the color temperature, what's the brightness?

Like to see what it is compared to the original.

Maybe it's there and I Just missed it?
