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:

B.

Anyword on the H4H bulbs..

I need...

:D

how much and where did you get them?

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.

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

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...

The base is smaller...

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

Hmm...

can't find the pic anywhere... you have it handy? post it for me... Where do you get bulbs now, Japan? :)

You've got me soooo xcited now :D

Pics please. :thumbup:

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

can u send me a pic please, i might be interested in getting these. These are the european ones, can you get them in Britain as well?
Mine will be 9003 like yours right?

Where are you finding these NEVER PRODUCED BULBS...I talk to orsam or whatever and they told me they have not yet made the H3....it should be out this may/june.

this is how my headlights look now, stock honda bulbs

i took this pic in my garage

Europe I believe..

I smell a group buy.:naughty:

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

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).

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

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

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

:thumbup:

Bruno:

When do we place our orders? I want H3's.

I smell a G/B.

bbarbulo...send me the pics and I'll post them.

Can't convert to CAD currency :cry:

pics?????????????????????????:)

XE.com is your friend. Buy them in US dollars or British pounds from the site... the price is no different, it's the equivalent of the price in any currency they accept.

If you buy it on your credit card, they will give you the best exchange rate for the month they were purchased in. So just buy them in UK pounds or USD.

:banghead:

http://www.powerbulbs.com/ is your friend, free shipping and currency conversion. Someone on this site mentioned it to me along time ago. They have verything you need.

They have a new bulb now that can last 2 times longer. Check out the Phillips bulbs. The Osram is not that good, only in my opinion, only if you like stock bulbs. Their "Vision Plus" is nice, 50% more light from a 60/55W H4.

Ooppss, sorry, I've been away a while....

I have H4 headlights, dunno about this H3 stuff ppl talk about :) You can check the www.osram.com site to find out whats available. I checked for H4H bulbs....haven't found a thing from Osram. EK7_Drift, the Silverstars claim 50% more light than a regular bulb too.... so if the Vision Plus claims the same, then... :shrugs: they are prolly pretty close. I had 90/100W Phillips bulbs in there prior to these, and the wiring got crispy from the heat.

As for pics... you can e-mail me, otherwise, you'll have to wait for me to get someone to host them.

bbarbulo, send them to my e-mail or do you want me to pst the pic you sent me?
PM me

Holly crap, old thread batman!!! :D

Ya, I still think my Osram bulbs :kickass: They look stock, not like the other "blue" or "cool" bulbs... but the light output is totally sweet! So if you don't want the attention of the police, these are pure stealth.

So has anyone ordered from Powerbulbs.com before? I mean if shipping is free, then you pay tax and brokerage at custom which will end up to be somewhere around 70 or 80 bucks no?

i know someone in Sauga that has them (H4) :D
$25 a piece..
looks like i'll be hitting them up for a pair.......

They sell Silverstars at Performance Improvements in Brampton, but they say the H1 and H3 sizes aren't available yet ... probably will be in late summer or fall

Yellow ones? I'd like a pair... can you PM me where?

white i believe pal..
i'll have a look again and make sure of what they've got..

Buyer beware and FYI


H4 is different from H4H.


Just letting you know. H4H is also referred to as H4's by people who dont know the difference.


Thanks for your time.:umbrella:

Yes. Twice.

No customs, duty or brokerage fees. Brokerage fees are for couriers and powerbulbs ships via standard post. Customs usually isn't charged on items coming from the UK... at least I've never been charged on customs for anything coming from there... and no tax either.

No, THANK YOU for your time :D LOL I don't understand why I was quoted in here... H4H are JDM lights YO! :) Or maybe I'm off the hook here?? :confused:

Bruno.....I 100% totally agree with your review.

I got my osram silverstars about two months ago, and I love them. I ordered mine from powerbulbs.com.

They cost me $56CDN after shipping from the UK....FREE SHIPPING...but i had to pay duty.

A local place here in mississauga sells them too...but they want like $39 for one or something.

I just re-read my review James... I still feel the same way. I get tingles thinking about it. :listen: is there something wrong with me?
