i was falling alseep at my desk till i read that

I was looking at getting the Sylvania's but if the APC's are better....

Also, check out the Phillips HiVisibility. I heard you can get them at K-Mart when they are available.

I'm running Sylvania Silverstars, and the light is very white and a bit brighter.

Burnt wiring wont happen if you run the stock wattage. That doesn't neccesarily mean that higher wattage will burn your wiring though..

I have 1 comment and that is Sylvania Silver Stars are THE best choice.

they change my daytime running lights too?

i have silver stars myself, (sts) looks great, but i would prefer the light bluish look of the APC bulbs... cheaper too

I too like the blue look of the APCs, what wattage should I buy?

for my cadillac i use 9006, its a 94 STS, i dont know about the newer ones tho??? :banghead2

is it the same for the fog lights?

I just put some xenons in and they don't really provide much light. They are 55 watt, is that too low a wattage?

I'm pretty sire 55w is standard for the low beams.

I mean, I can't see crap with these things on. What wattages does everyone else have?

Do they have a blue tint?
IIRC, blue lights are the worst for night-time visibility, something to do with short wavelengths dispersing.

You can modify the 9005 bulbs to fit the low-beam. I'm not sure if it'll blind oncoming traffic though.

Will that hurt anything? Blinding oncomming traffic? Isn't my Caddy looking good more important than the safty of others?

The reason I'm unsure of its blinding effect is because I'm not sure if it is the bulb or the housing that aims the highbeams higher.

If you are looking for quality get piaa lights...9006 for low beam and 9005 for high beam...this goes for most cars. Piaa are mostly d.o.t. approved. The catera is h7 for both low and high beam.

If you want brighter applications apc lights, and eurolights can be bought at higher wattage.
