Dont buy Sylvania Silverstars
I own a 2002 Volvo, the one that keeps your lights on whenever the car
runs. Problem is, in 5 years all factory lights have worked till last year when I replaced one burnt out headlamp with a SilverStar. The Silverstar has since been replaced with yet another silverstar, and now a regular bulb. In one year, 2 Silverstars lasted 6 months each, with only 9000 miles of driving. I went back to regular bulbs. I did not touch or scratch the bulb on removal or instalation, Silverstars just cant do the hours needed. |

go to www.suvlights.com and get osram or philips/narva +30 or 50. I
had silverstars in my foglights for over two years. They did not last that long in the headlight position. I also disabled my DRL's as I dont need the government telling me whentoturn on lights On Jan 31, 6:57*pm, ransley wrote: I own a 2002 Volvo, the one that keeps your lights on whenever the car runs.

I've had the same set of Silverstars in for about 4 years now in my Taurus. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
