I recently replaced 80/100watts bulbs with silverstar ultras and harness and have much better visibility. The ultras seem brighter or at least give off a better usable light. Does the clear lenses make that much of a difference? I have no yellowing in the stock lenses and light seems great as is.

 

I don't mean to sound like one of those guys that always say I did that to but......I did that to as a matter of fact last night put in a silver star ultra on one side and left the other one in (100/80) and there was no difference to mention. JM .02$

 

Glad to see you got those. I had similar problems aiming mine. Mine have done excellent since the beginning of November 07 when I got them.

 

The clear lenses were a major improvement for me. I think I am going to find a set of bulbs that were mentioned in a earlier post (Nighthawks).

 

Where did you get those bulbs from>

 

Often times, expectation determines satisfaction!

I changed out just one headlight to the Silverstar Ultras and got many friends asking me if I knew I had one headlight brighter than the other.

I believe they do a better job of lighting what's ahead on the road.

Couldn't have said it better. I really do enjoy my Silverstar Ultras but I want to try the GE bulbs now to compare. I cant afford to have a 600hp CTD but I can afford to have a brightly lit one.

 

i heard about the bulbs from daniel sterns website. i know in canada the ge nighthawks are available at canadian tire or part source.

as for availability in the us, i don't know which stores sell what, but i am pretty sure i have read other threads that state guys have bought the ge's or philips bulbs in the us.

from what i can tell, these are the only two bulbs available in the us & canada without ordering online. his website states 2 other good choices - i think, which can be ordered online at various places. i think these online retailers are over seas.

hopefully somebody can clear this up if they know. . . for both canada & us

haloman - how did you adjust you new housings?

 

i agree, i also fall into this category despite my earlier post. a long time ago i bought super white piaa's (comparable to silverstars i believe). like i said i was just stating from the website. but my next bulbs will be nighthawks unless others are available as per previous post.

 

Friend with small hands

 

where is the adjustment screw? is it the philips head on the back?

 

Yea that is the adjustment screw

 

did you do any other adjustments (washers behind mount points for example), or just bolt in and adjust with the philips screw?

 

I adjusted with Phillips screw

 

did the adjustment screw max out, or is is there still room for more?

i feel pretty dumb, here i was adjusting my headlights by sliding washers behind the mount points!

there is only one adjustment screw per housing - which directions does it do?
