Topic: New Premium Halogen Bulbs

[Cheers]

I switched out my lights when I got the GXP with Sylvania Silverstar Headlamps.  Does anyone know how the Silverstars compare with the Putco?  The Silverstars made a big difference over the OEM.  They are much whiter. 

Have not seen them side by side but love my PUTCOs

I installed the Silverstars about a year ago and yes they are much better than the stock bulbs.  I can not comment on the Putco but looking at the picture Cheers posted, I would believe they are brighter than the Silverstars, however, I can not state that as fact.  Cheers may want to chime in and answer your question.

I'll talk you into it ...

Didn't get out until tonight --  They are a bit wider, but a LOT whiter and farther reaching. I live in the COUNTRY -- with little light at all, but lots of the #1 killer deer. SO being able to see better at night is a big thing. I like the look too ;-)

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.

I too live in the country and night vision is very important.  We have deer all over the place!!!!
I wonder if replacing the fog light bulbs with Putco would throw a wider beam in addition to brighter?

I sure wish there was a side adjustment on the head lights, I am getting plenty of bright light with my Silvania's but not having the ability to adjust from side to side is a handicap.  The left headlight is fine but the right (passanger side) headlight is projecting the beam a little too far left.  I may try and shim the housing to see if that may help?

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?  Thanks

Silvana claims they come in at 4000

I have silver stars on my truck, and putco's on the car.  When (if) I get my truck back from my daughter I will take a picture.

Also would be interesting to get your personal impression of the two.
