Get Sylvania silver star H7 and you will see for miles and miles and miles, I have them for low beam H7, H1 for high beam and fogs, they don't dull after time like cheaper hologen bubls do.

 

Mercedes of Honolulu has done a swap for a C230 from standard lamps to HID. Customer brought all the components in from a wrecked car but didn't realize the computer also need to have the correct software to make them operate correctly. I happened to be at the parts counter (Still trying to fix my GPS problem LINK) and I ended up talking to a tech dealing with the HID car. Apparently, the car was in service for the 4th time trying to get the computer to recognize the HIDs so they will operate. Although one would think such a swap is simple, the techs seemed to think it was the equivalent of brain surgery.

BTW: Any 2005 and up C-Class owners have this problem? LINK Please tell me about it and how it was solved.

 

Sylvania Silverstars are halogen bulbs. If halogen bulbs "dull" over time, then that's what the Silverstars will do.

 

According to Sylvania's website, SilverStar will die much sooner than the standard halogen bulbs.

Sylvania clearly states that life expectancy of SilverStar is 150 hours.

 

I don't know what 150 hours translates to in terms of calendar time. They burn at a hotter temp than the run-of-the-mill halogens so they wear out faster.

 

I AM NOT LECTURING ANYONE FLY BOY I, AM SIMPLY STATING WHAT I HAVE DONE AND THE EFFECT THAT THEY HAVE, BETTER LIGHT THAN HALOGEN AT AN ECONOMICAL COST. SO TAKE A CHILL PILL

 

No matter what you do or say, some people just can't see the light.

 

You're right there Lug

 

No more CAPS. Guess who took the chill pill?

 

Good man, keep on taking the tablets
