Sylvania Silver Star bulbs??

Has anyone seen the Silver Star bulbs in person? Everything I've seen makes them look pretty good, but I don't want to waste 50 bucks on ricey-looking bulbs. I dont even know if they make them for the w202.

I think you're mistaken Doug. I think the Sylvania bulbs are for headlight applications, essentially to imitate HID, not to give a clear corner effect. I think...

My bad. Now I know what you're talking about. I think I saw those in a magazine or something. They don't look much different than the other numerous blue tinted bulbs. I have seen some from PIAA that look pretty good. It's more grayish blue than just blue so it looks a lot more like HID's.

Hmmm... Any idea how much those PIAA's you're talking about cost?

www.tirerack.com sells them. They range from 57 to 81 dollars a pair. They are called PIAA Xtreme White bulbs. Check them out and see what you think.
