Installed Silverstar Ultra hi & low beams in one of the Civics tonight. Been thinking about doing an HID PnP kit because the stock headlights are just so weak. Figured I'd try these out first. Glad I did - noticeable improvement over stock lights. Not as white/blue as HID's, but not as yellow as typical halogens either. BTW, Advance Auto has 2-packs of regular Silverstars on sale for $28 & 2-packs of Silverstar Ultra for $35. Don't know how long that sale is on.
The 1st pic is the 06 EX coupe on the left with newly installed Silverstar ultras, the 08 LX sedan with stock lights on the right. The 08 has 200 miles on it, so these are brand new stock headlights.
This next pic is both shining on the garage door. Silverstar Ultra on the right.
Doesn't look very different in the pics (should have taken off polarizing filter maybe), but in person they look very different. Looking at the 2nd picture at the far left & then comparing to the far right shows how yellow the stock lights are in comparison.
Went for a little ride down a dark road. Very noticeable difference & well worth the $75 to swap them out.
I do have a question though - what is the difference between the Silverstar and the Silverstar Ultra? The package information is very lacking on both products. The regular Silverstar said they were 4000°k & 1000 lumens. The Ultras didn't say squat for specs.
