Has anyone tried these? I have Silverstar 9006's, and I'd like to upgrade the 9005 drl/high beams too... but coughing up another $40.00 for bulbs isn't real appealing. I can get these for $20 a pair.. and I have a store-credit for $10 at Best Buy so they'd only cost me $10.

havent seen these in person but i got sylvania and there awesome

Okay... I guess I need to rephrase the question...

Anyone found 9006's that are cheap that look similar to the silverstar 9005's?

Thanks!

depends on what wattage you want, but there are plenty here:

so what exactly is our part number for our silverstar headlights. 9006 or 9005 im gonna go get them tomorrow at miejers 50% off deal on them

9005: The daytime running lights (which are also our high beams) (inner lights)
9006: Regular night-time headlights (outer lights)

I just called the 4 Meijer stores in my area... they carry Silverstars & have them on sale for $10 each right now... the bad news is... they don't have any 9005's or 9006's. :(

Actually you can put the 9005's as your low beams too, with a slight modifacation.

Rain check!

my brother works at best buy and i got a both pairs for $16 ^_^ , but yeh i really really like them, they are a bright, bright white with just a touch of blue in the high beams, i would reccomend them, sorry no pics as of yet

They weren't giving rain checks - it's a discontinued item now.

So... I just went to Autozone and bought a pair of 9005's.

All you have to do to change the bulb is pop out the stock and stick in the new one, right?

Yep, Theres 2 clips that stick out above the headlight assembly, pull those up and pull the lamp assembly out to get at the bulbs. The ones you are going to be changing are covered by a rubber circle, pull that off and then you can access the bulbs. High beams are the inner ones, low beams are the outer ones.

Actually... the inner ones (9005) are dual high/low beams. During the day, they serve as the daytime running lights. They also serve as your high beams.

The outer ones (9006) are your normal night-time headlights.

Be careful not to touch the bulb when you replace them.

If you can't touch the bulb aren't they hard to get in? :unsure:

Only touch the plastic base of the bulb.. not the bulb itself.. if your doing a light that you need to touch the bulb to put it in like the 3157 parking lights just use a cloth or a few tissues to hold the bulb.. I've heard that bulbs with gas inside them such as the xenons or whatever can explode when they get turned on if you get oil from your hands on them.. never had it happen to me but i dont want to take chances on a 20 dollar light bulb.

Gotcha.

ok i just installed the low beams. now my blinker bulbs and fog lights look yellowish compaired to the low beams.. but the low beams look freakin sweet

I also just bought and installed thew low beams (silverstar). I can't wait til tonight so I can see how they really look.

I got em at advanced auto parts for $40

actually ur partically correct wiht ur statement.

i think in like 2001 or 2002 they switched the drl's from the highbeams to the lowbeams..... so the lows are actually on all the time.

check it out next time u pass some alero's...... the 2001/2002??? and new models will have the lowbeams on during the day.
