About SYLVANIA 9005 SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
78% found the plug-and-play installation
Installing headlight-bulbs was easy once I located the bulb locations and figured out how to remove them from the car's socket. It's truly a plug and play.
61% praised the heat dissipation
Sylvania Halogen high beam bulbs are 5 Watts more powerful than the factory specification, but not enough to cause any wiring issues.
66% found it energy efficient
I have verified that the Sylvania Ultras are brighter and whiter than their baseline bulbs and are definitely superior to the stock bulbs.
These bulbs have a whiter ray of light, not the typical yellow hue, indicating that they are energy efficient and provide better lighting.
78% highlighted the color temperature
I have noticed that the headlight-bulbs reflect a blue hue in the housing when the DRL is off and when powered on, the light output is whiter than a standard halogen, but definitely warmer than a 6000k LED / HID. I have chosen the slight compromise on color for performance.
73% liked the brightness level, but 27% didn't
I have used the Sylvania Ultras and found them to be brighter and whiter than the stock bulbs. While they may not be as bright or white as the LEDs in newer cars, they are still a great upgrade from the stock bulbs.
HID bulbs are effective for 100-120 feet of bright light.
I have used many halogen bulbs during 40 years of driving and maintaining vehicles, but these are the brightest.
