Osram Silverstar review
 
:marchmell I got my Osram Silverstars!! :notworthy

LOL just thought I'd let you all know, and write a quick review.

1st of all... I had Phillips Rally 90/100W bulbs in there before for 3 years... VERY bright, never burned out on me not even once in 3 years. :thumbup: They were VERY bright did I mention :) I noticed, however, my wiring was getting hot and hence hard... the wiring is a little stiff, so I suspect the 90/100 is too much for the goddamn telephone wire that is the headlight harness :D

I was unwilling to give up my lighting power, but I had to reduce the consumption of power. The answer came in the form of Sylvania/Osram Silverstars :) The bulbs are excellent quality, the bases are nice and percise, no burred edges anywhere... overall... AAA (Triple A) goodness. Carefully threw the bulbs in during my lunch break (making sure not to touch the bulb glass or get it dirty in any way). I went back to the underground garage... and WOW!!! A much whiter light than before. I thought it wasn't possible. The light is almost angelic. No blue tinge, no purple, nothing.... just WHITE!!! I'm VERY HAPPY! I should note, I can't tell the difference around the city cuz of all the light pollution in the city, but as soon as I get onto an unlit sidestreet...it's like the heavens open up from in front of my car! Awesome :D

There, now you know... :)
:kickass:

imported_JookSingKid 21-Mar-2003 09:59 AM

how much and where did you get them?

bbarbulo 21-Mar-2003 10:10 AM

H1, H3 and Bilux H4 and H7 are available 94EG6HB... no mention of H4H man... I'll keep checking and see what I can find out. Have you tried fitting/modifying an H4 bulb? What's the diff...is it the base or the size of bulb?

JSK, Germany, and about $50 CDN w/o shipping.

imported_Hybridtheory 21-Mar-2003 11:14 AM

bruno..... an you get them in 9006?

bbarbulo 21-Mar-2003 11:19 AM

We'll have to wait and see... bro is not there right now... I'll let you guys know when he goes back (PM me your lighting needs in a month, k?) I asked before and everyone wanted pics :shrugs: Now it's too late. Shipping is gonna cost $$$ too... I got pics now...

imported_94EG6HB 21-Mar-2003 11:28 AM

The base is smaller...

I posted a pic of the difference a while back..

Hmm...

bbarbulo 21-Mar-2003 11:37 AM

bbarbulo 21-Mar-2003 11:49 AM

Ya, I can e-mail them to you or if DumbasSi or loudsubz wanna host them for me :)

PM me your e-mail addy. Pics arent' great, I'm a retard with a camera :D My hands are shaky, and the shutter speed was too slow cuz of the lack of light, so the pics are blurry. :) Artistic shots though if I may say so. haha

imported_EG4door 21-Mar-2003 06:20 PM

I smell a group buy.:naughty:

imported_94EG6HB 21-Mar-2003 06:24 PM

Bruno offered one before to select members...

Prolly more like people he trusted..

I dunno who grabbed a set.

I need H4H and have to wait..

:D

imported_ryanhook 21-Mar-2003 06:42 PM

Order them from Powerbulbs.com in the UK... free shipping.

By the way, Philips is introducing an H3 bulb to go along with the H4 and H7 bulbs in the VisionPlus series (similar product to the OSRAM Silverstars).

MystixEL 21-Mar-2003 06:56 PM

yea i may be interested, my F1 spec r's look super nice, but.....I CANT SEE AT NIGHT.

imported_Joker 21-Mar-2003 11:02 PM

thanks for the pic,
so im guessing that these osrams don't look like:

http://spankdog.dyndns.org/albums/album08/aaf.sized.jpg

those are the sylvanias that dopey posted awhile back

but i guess you can't tell for sure because its hard to tell light whiteness from a pic.

IYO: do you think that the osrams are whiter/better than the sylvania's?

thanks
