Now took a small read, silverstars sounding cool. Operating on the same wattage but give off a brighter light. Chances are I may not have to upgrade the sockets and wiring. Anyone has any down here and for how much?

When u put theses 100w bulbs on ur head/fog lights do u need to add a relay?

The guy I got the bulbs from told me u dont need relay... But an electrician told me I'll need relay Exclamation

So which is it Question

If you are running 100watts you will need the relays.

I've used 100W bulbs already and they're not that great of a lighting boost. More light, yes, a bit more dangerous to oncoming drivers, but not worth the extra cash and time, the relay, etc. just for that little extra.

I got the PIAAs and they work DAMNED WELL. It will cost even more, but believe when I say the output is cleaner, and adds a bit of style too.

I am considering HIDs for my other ride, but the housing is not HID compatible and the beam pattern is below impressive. I may very well stick to the PIAAs since I've had good experience with them for the last three months and add an aftermarket Xenon fog light kit for added effects without the dangers to oncoming drivers.

I'm not big on electrical... So what really would the Relay do?

I should be getting a pair of PIAA bulbs in a couple of weeks. I'll let y'all know how they compare to the 100 watt halogens I have at the moment.

What about bulbs for fog light? I bought some 80w hyperwhite 9006 Bulbs but they looking like the original in colour (doesn't have that tinge of blue like the hyper for the head light)... And I dont really know if they brighter cause I change the bulbs same time I installed the fogs!

arite people there are a lot of good info here taught i add a few to it a lot of you asking about why the bulb socket keep burning with out the relay system it's because the socket is the weekest point of connection so when the wires get hot it seems to expand a bit at that point reducing the flow of electrons arite let me don't get so technical Confused

it just get hot and burns at that point up grage to heavy duty suckets and upgrade to the relay system .. it improves the lighting don't matter the brand , wattage of the bulb your low beam shows like what your high beam used to look like and you high beam ummmmmmm just imagine Laughing

yea jus wanted to add my experience with the sylvania silverstars

shows kinda yellowish, not the white i expected but visibility at night is definitely better

i also got a set of HIDs 10000K for High.. well thats a dream, its just a nuisance to oncoming drivers.

If ur silverstars are showing yellow, get the wiring upgrade done, it means that the voltage at the lamp is too low.

I hav these headlights & hav the normal yellow lights installed in dem, cetch arse tuh drive in the night where it hav street lights.
his is how it does show in the pitch dark:

high beam:

low beam up close:

it dosent carry the normal almera headlight bulb wih the high & low beam in one bulb. wat wattage bulb can you guys recommend? (white light preferably cuz i eh able wit the yellow).
I asw som1 mention something bout a bulb tha has the same consumption with respect to wattage (bout 55 - 60) but a higher output (somwhere within the 100 watt region), can i put those without having to run a relay & risk melting my sockets etc?

i trying these super while bulbs..so far i was able to get the same 55w rating for the fogs. As for the headlamps i replaced the 55w ones and put in the 100w. I also replaced the socket with a heavy duty type though
