SYLVANIA 9003 SilverStar Ultra Twin Pack

These work really good! Love the natural light like daylight 4300k look in the halogen style bulb. Installation was easy and it fit great. Price is reasonable but better than my local store. I’ve attached 2 photos driving in the city at night and one on the free. Very clear and bright for good visibility, no need to install retrofit type projector.

This is the best thing to LED brightness one can achieve with halogen bulbs without blinding other drivers and deers by installing illegal LED bulbs in reflector headlight housing. The only issue is its price and longevity. In one car that is driven daily, this two-pack Silverstar Ultra lasts just over a year, and in the other car that is driven every other day, it lasts two years. When replacing, replace both at once even though they might not fail at the exact time. If you drive at night often, or eyes don't see properly at night, I recommend these Silverstar Ultra bulbs. Like I said before, downsides are cost and longevity.

I used to use the Silverstars before the Silverstar Ultras came out. The Ultras are a enhanced, great product, that illuminate the road further and wider whether on the Interstate or country roads. The street signs, reflective paint and strips on the roads really pop out which makes it easier to drive at any speed. I could really tell with these lights the improved visibility over the standard halogen OEM bulbs how much brighter it was. I don't care for fake ultra ultra white (HID) lights look, I care more about how a product illuminates the road. I had some fake HID white bulbs before and couldn't see very well at night especially when it rained even when they cost more, but the Silverstar Ultras are great! Even though they last from 9-12 months, changing the bulbs takes me less than 5 min for both headlights so if you have trouble changing them out you may want to look at longer lasting ones at the expense of dimmer lights. I couldn't justify the price premium on the Piaa Intense White H4 bulbs over these. You will also notice they have a sharp European headlight beam pattern (low on the right and higher on the right hand side like a fat check mark). They are brighter but do not blind other drivers because if they are aimed properly the cut-off pattern really helps. PROS: -buy from Amazon, 40-50% less then auto part stores (~[...] pair vs ~$50 pair). Plus free shipping :-) -keep your receipt and Sylvania may your replace your bulbs if they burn out in less than a year. You will have to contact [...] customer service (make sure you have a receipt) -white and bright light make it well worth the cons -if you have poor night vision they really help CONS: -may cost 2x more than standard cheap bulbs -will not last as long as the cheap bulbs -the longevity is a big con if you have a hard time to access and change your headlight bulb

...and I would concur. I bought these for my wife's Subaru. We live in a rural area of AZ and when there is no moon out here, you can't see your hand at arm's length at night! Worse yet, when it rains, light cast on the road from headlights can be totally "absorbed" like a sponge. Was hesitant at first to buy these because of reported longevity issues. I disconnected the daytime running lights to hopefully get more life out of them. We also make sure to turn the SWITCH off when shutting down at night so they are not unnecessarily switched on when restarting or during daylight driving. Quite a few vehicles nowadays have a headlight auto-off feature when turning of the ignition. The Subaru has this feature, but our newer Xterra does not. With the Subaru, if you leave your headlight switch on as many do, the lights will be turned on when the ignition switch moves through the ON to the START position, then switches them OFF momentarily to start the vehicle and then back on when it is running. This cycles the lights unnecessarily (leaving them on) and can contribute to early failure. The beam these throw is truly amazing. I didn't tell my wife I replaced them and she saw the difference 1st time out. I readjusted to a lower position and as bright as they are, we have never been flashed by oncoming drivers for blinding them. AZ drivers do not hesitate to let you know! They put light on the road where you need it and none where you don't, but that speaks more to adjustment and lens/reflector design. Efforts to preserve them are apparently working because we've had them for a year now (knock on wood). There is almost always a trade-off for increased performance and the package clearly shows reduced life expectancy for these lights. So, no surprises for us here. If I had to replace them every year, my wife is worth it. 4 stars for now; if we still have them this time next year, will consider 5 stars. The Xterra will be the next to get them and they appear to be interchangeable with 99 Super Duty if we felt like swapping them out. (Yes, I can be that frugal.)

Replaced my 5 year old bulbs on my 97 4Runner with these and they are sooooo bright! Originally - I was going to get new headlights but I’m glad that I made this purchase. Saved a ton of money just getting new bulbs.

I bought a sealed-beam conversion kit for my '89 Porsche 944, which came with high-powered LED bulbs. The LEDs were far too bright. These bulbs fit the bill perfectly.

I replaced the OEM bulbs in a 2010 Toyota Yaris with these. I also replaced the old, yellow and faded housings so it’s hard to say how much of the difference is the housings and/or the bulbs, but these bulbs illuminate and project light SO much further down the road and the cutoff is fantastic. The color is similar (a little whiter) which is fine, but I can really see objects in the road so much sooner than before. If you’re looking for some ultra-white blinding LED type light these aren’t it, they’re similar to OEM in terms of color, but they illuminate things really well. Hopefully they last a while.

Much cheaper than the store. Nice and bright.

La iluminación en carretera es muy buena y llegó al siguiente día de pedirlo. Los compré en oferta, en ningún otro lugar los vi a tan bajo precio.

Excelente iluminación, mejor que los de agencia sin ninguna duda, color blanco sin llegar a verse azul como otros focos, mejora mucho la visibilidad a lo largo y ancho.

Great down the road vision

If I'd actually received the bulbs that I had ordered, it would have been a 5 star rating as I've owned these before and they are the best halogen bulbs I've ever had. The color temperature is 4100K, which isn't a bright white like most modern LED or HID bulbs, but it gives off a good amount of light. Thankfully, due to Amazon's A-Z guarantee, I was able to get a refund.
