I see that most who upgrade thier headlights do so with Silvania Silverstars. Any opinion on how they compare to PIAAs? I had the PIAA Platinums in my '02 SVT Focus and loved them, but they cost $20 more for the pair. Also is there a matching replacement for the fog lights? The PIAAs made my fog lights look yellow by comparison.

Paheff,
I took out my Piaa bulbs and replaced them with Silverstars. I like the Silvertars better. I changed my fog light bulbs to Silverstars also from www.suvlights.com

Paheff-Internal testing shows SilverStar outperforming the competition for legal use. SilverStar offers the highest performing halogen on the market, meeting all regulatory standards both in the U.S. and Canada. :up:

Well that seems pretty conclusive...Silverstars it is , tomarrow. And I save $20, gee who'd a thunk it?

Oh, by the way, what bulbs do the fogs take, if anyone knows off hand?

Silverstars are also available for the fog lights. They are H1 bulbs. I have been having trouble find them locally, and guess I will have to order them..

FYI:
Walmart sells the Silverstars by the pair, and were the cheapest that I could find around here.

I had no problem finding the 9007 headlight bulbs, but I have had no luck in finding the Silverstar H1 bulbs (foglight) other than on the internet.

I don't like the white light of the SilverStar. For me, it reduces visibility in the rain. I chose the XtraVision and am pleased with it.

Don't forget to replace the turn signal bulbs with SilverStars as well. I just got mine in the mail. I ordered them directly from Sylvania on their website. They arrived about 4 days later. I believe the bulb # is 3157, but don't quote me on that.
