 Relatively short life-expectancy December 5, 2008
I've purchased a pair of those SilverStar Ultra in January 2008. With minimal night-time driving and no daytime running lights feature to my vehicle, those headlight bulbs have gone out on me by December 2008 (total of less than 12 months of life-expectancy). In my opinion not very worth it considering its price, even though they are brighter than regular 9006 headlight bulbs. You could probably buy a pair of regular 9006 headlight bulbs which cost half the price, and they might last you at least 5 years or longer.
DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!! November 20, 2008
I just bought one and I am very disappionted.I looks just like a normal halogen lamp,nothing white about it or anything of that nature.I feel like i have been ripped off and cant return it because iI ripped the case and threw it away.I dont know why people give recommendations about how great this is and how white it is,unless I got a defective package, there is nothing "xenon-looking" about this.My high beams are of a different brand and you can just see how white with a blue tint that looks,I guess I shoul have bought that same brand again.What a waste of my money.
 Bright...but not as bright as the claims November 7, 2008

These are fairly expensive at California auto part stores. On the front of the packaging, they claim "up to 50% brighter, up to 40% more reach, and up to 50% wider." However, the fine print on the back says that the claims were made when comparing these bulbs at 100% power to standard bulbs at 80% of power!!! How can this be a fair comparison? I thought U.S. laws were supposed to protect consumers from this type of deception.
I have to 2005 Corolla CEs. When comparing these bulbs to the standard, I would say they about 20% brighter, 10-15% more reach, and 15% wider. Definitely not what they claim. I have had them only a few days, so I cannot comment on the longevity. However, standard bulbs easily last 2 years in or cars. After reading the comments on Amazon about longevity, I am a little worried that these won't last.
Waste of money and time. Burns out within a matter of months September 20, 2008
Nothing more aggravating then having to replace these bulbs twice in one year. The first time, is ok , maybe I just got a bad set, the second time one out of a set of these silverstar bulbs burned out, I got the cool blues instead. Hopefully I'll get longer lasting results with the cooler burning bulbs.
These bulbs have very short lives August 29, 2008

ALL the DOT-legal high output bulbs achieve higher output by overdriving the filiments, which reduces bulb life. They have to do this because the DOT puts limits on wattage. The only exception are HID and HIR bulbs, which use new technology to get more light out of less watts.
According to Sylvania:
"Since our SilverStar(r) ULTRA
headlights are up to 50% brighter than standard halogen, they will have
a shorter life span when compared to our other products. Part number
9005SU will last for approximately 125 hours of "on time", 200 hours for
part 9006SU."
For comparison, standard Halogens are rated at 1000/350 hours low/high. Use the S
If you want good lights on a 9006/9005 car, get some Toshiba 911 and 912 HIR bulbs. They'll cost you about $15 more than the Silverstars Ultras, put out more light... and last 5 times as long!
