Zoom, should the short 1 year lifespan be expected with these too? $45 a year does not sound too bad...but $45 ever two years sounds better.

Then again...my driving is 90% daytime....hmmm, free shipping....cool!

 

I found one a $1 cheaper...(OHHH YEAH...lol, j/k...I like your site better since it has a $$ converter)

you need one pair.

Osram Silverstar H7s are excellent bulbs, but the H4s that I used in my last car tended to burn out fast. First one went after 7 months, second one after 9. Mind you, I did drive a whole metric ton (40K miles a year), and plenty during night time.

IMO, also very good AND locally available are the Phillips Hi-Visibility "30% plus" bulbs. That's pretty much the best bulb you can buy locally and lasts longer than the Osram Silverstars.

 

Looks good...will these be significantly whitER than my standard hologen lights on my 8?

 

neither of these hi-output halogens will look 'whiter' than stock, but they will be noticeably brighter, which in term will make it 'look' whiter?

and the Osram Silverstars are ECE approved (European equivalent of DOT) so the beam pattern will more than satisfy DOT regulations. besides, we have projector-style halogens, where glare is not nearly as big of an issue than compared to the reflector headlights.

 

I see....hmmmm

 

yup, they are whitER, but they are nowhere near the Sylvania SilverStar or those other bulbs that attempt to look like HIDs.
