SYLVANIA - 9005 SilverStar Ultra - High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, High Beam, Low Beam and Fog Replacement Bulb, Brightest Downroad with Whiter Light, Tri-Band Technology (Contains 2 Bulbs)

Amazing product!

The product is good but a better description on the posting is needed, for example, include type of vehicle...

Perfect beam in the darkness.

I use these on a 1999 Ram 3500 4x4 truck I drive to work in the early morning hours of between 330 and 5am. I paired them with replacement stock type fixtures and they fit and function precisely as they should. What an improvement over the yellowed out and dim regular bulbs and fixtures! There has been no flashing of headlights at me, and yet they have plenty of bright output to see on low beam setting. The high beams are even more impressive for distance and clarity. The price of these bulbs is fair and a realistic value and they are also DOT compliant which was another requirement for me.

Super bright! The lifespan is less than I would hope for, but knowing my family can see better at night is worth it. On average I get about 9 months before one burns out. The only bulb I put in any of our vehicles are SilverStar Ultra!

I bought this as a cheap alternative to HIDs. I have a 2009 scion xb and it being winter, i use my headlights a lot. I was going to buy HIDs but i didn't want to cough up 150 bucks for it. While these aren't totally cheap and the reviews stating its short life, i was keen to try it just for the winter so at least if and when the bulbs do burn out, it's probably spring time and i'll just buy HIDs then. I will say it is REALLY bright. Visibility is one of the best i have experienced. And i have owned many cars with HIDs or stock bulbs. The visibility is amazing, the light line is perfect and the range of light is spot on. I can really see everything with these. It almost makes me not wanna ever go HIDs. Which brings me to my only complain. I don't really care about its short life, hell i don't mind buying new ones every 3 months for the performance this has, i just wish the lighting didn't look stock. In the commercial it says its supposed to be "whiter"? I didn't notice that, it just seems brighter than stock, same color. I wish it was a white white. Like how luxury cars come stock. I know those are HIDs but i wish i had the color of the HIDs but with the visibility of these bulbs. I guess i'm happy for now.

This is the best thing to LED brightness one can achieve with halogen bulbs without blinding other drivers and deers by installing illegal LED bulbs in reflector headlight housing. The only issue is its price and longevity. In one car that is driven daily, this two-pack Silverstar Ultra lasts just over a year, and in the other car that is driven every other day, it lasts two years. When replacing, replace both at once even though they might not fail at the exact time. If you drive at night often, or eyes don't see properly at night, I recommend these Silverstar Ultra bulbs. Like I said before, downsides are cost and longevity.
