Help for my old eyes. New headlights.

[MonacoMike]

I replaced the headlights in my Truck, with these Sylvania Silverstar Ultra, and wow what a difference. My real life change was very similar to the pics on their website. This surprised me: "Headlights dim over time by 20% or more and timely replacement results in increased lighting performance." I thought if they worked they worked. So check them out, and don't tow in the dark. MM

Thanks MM... I've wanted to upgrade my Silverado headlights for awhile I'll try them out...

Great before and after shots. Looks like they are my next upgrade.
Thanks MM.

Hey Guys, they do work great but beware. They draw massive amps (I don't care what the manufacture says) and WILL eventually burn up your connectors. I have repaired many vehicles with this concern. There some company's. out there that offer kits including bulbs, new connectors with an in-line fuse and additional wiring.

What is the risk in terms of $$$$? Is the entire harness at risk or mainly the connecters from the addirional heat? Does it always have to have a "but"? MM

So you are the jack off always driving behind me trying to blind me?

If you are the guy blocking the left lane while driving with his turn signal on, that would be me behind you. But those are not the lights under discussion because they are my brights. :smt043

Ahah! I would definitely not be slow in the left lane and blinkers are constantly monitored. Good call on brights only. I am replacing the
Amps for my underwater lights and they are the D2S style xenons. Those suckers are expensive if you buy real ones and not the cheap a$$ Chinese models...
