Sylvania Silverstar zXe Headlights

[Coolhandmike]

I installed a pair of the SilverStar zXe headlights today. I was replacing a pair of Silverstars on my Yukon. Everything else is LED including switchbacks so the yellow light is killing me. I used DDM tuning before and had two pair of ballasts go bad in just months....they suck (DDM and their crappy products). Also, it turns out they ARE actually blinding (that's Soulsea by the way, just kidding buddy). The zXe headlights are not different, I couldn't tell them apart from the ones I already installed. So...in closing don't buy them. My wife will laugh at me when I tell her that I have to spend a grand on retrofitting my headlights for HID.....

Hmm, I just bought some of these. I may return them.

Anyone else here with any experience on these?

Just got your PM Serge.

Thanks.

They're good bulbs.

They do have the blue coating to make the light appear whiter, and any time a bulb is coated it will sacrifice lumens/output.

 

[Goodinblack]

So you mean they are less bright than the stock ones?

 

[soulsea]

I don't have the specs of the stock bulbs.

My guess is that despite the light blue coating, the zXe will be slightly brighter than stock.

Okay thanks. I supposed it is worth it then.

I got these for like $38.00, they retail for $59.00.

I suppose I will run these till I get HIDs. You do that write up you promised yet? Then I can start saving for a RetroFit.

Piece by piece.

I have these too after two sets of HID's went out on me. They look the same as stock :IMO:
