I upgraded to the Sylvania Silverstars. I am pleased with the improved lighting. You can find out more about them here.

OOH, cool blue sounds good...

cool blue = filter on the bulb = less light output than without the filter.



The sylvania silverstars cost a lot of money, burn out rather quickly, and don't really put out that much light.



If you want a high quality halogen bulb for actual improved lighting, and not just a whiter appearance, look for one of these bulbs: Tungsram Megalicht, Narva Rangepower+50, Osram Silverstar or Philips VisionPlus



Do not mistake the Osram Silverstars for the sylvania silverstars... they are not the same.

I like these, unlike the other two options these don't mention thw bulb requirements or options, do they include the bulbs at $89 apiece? Has anyone installed these? They look good.

I think those would give a unique/modern appearance compared to stock? Meaning when they are turned off during the daytime.

Unfortunately, they're a pathetic attempt at catching the appearance of a projector set up, without actually pulling it off or having any of the optical benefits.



Last thing I would want is a headlight with some random piece of metal in the middle of the beam without being set up properly to do so.

Well, unique, yes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'd like to cast my vote that they look a bit crappy, and at $89 how good could they possibly be?



In other news just in, claims have been made that headlights are used to illuminate the road at night. We are unable to ascertain the accuracy of these claims at this stage. If these claims are true, people may choose headlights based on performance rather than bling factor! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Are you saying that most "mature enthusiasts" choose function over style. I think that the headlights on these cars look like crap and I would even sacrfice nightime vision for an improved look. I'm at home putting my kids to bed at night anyway...The cheap price does raise a quality concern, that is why i'm looking for feedback right?

i don't see how those change anything - they still require the headlights to go up and down - the projectors won't be focusable, as the reflector is still going to push the light in one fixed direction

Well, no idea where the 'mature' bit came from, but like flash, I can't see that changing the appearance of the light itself will improve the overall look of the car. Yes, the lights on our cars are unusual, and maybe Mr Porsche could have implemented them better. What I do know, is if you swap the plain looking headlights for those fake projectors, you will concentrate attention on a weak point of the car, not take it away.



Personally, I wouldn't change anything on the car that didn't result in a functional upgrade. Sacrificing night-time vision for looks is unwise IMO, but I guess plenty of people do similar things to their Honda's...



But hey, it's only $89 - buy some and try it out. Post photos, maybe I'm wrong? Wouldn't be the first time. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
