probably not...try tho...

i will say this once...go HID...obvioiusly more expensive....but they will last much longer and obviously will be way brighter...
i used to get the cheap colored bulbs for the blue tint....visibility sucked *** tho...just for looks..
i got my HID kit with ballasts and everythin all plug and play for like $160....couldn't be happier

I was gonna upgrade to silverstars because I have blacked out headlights and eyelids. In my area there are no streetlights so its REALLY dark on the country roads. But if they are gonna blow out all the time screw em.

I have wanted HID's but im worried how hard they would be to install. I guess it must not be to hard... $160 is cheap. I thought they ran around $400!?!

no it's plug and play with all sizes....H1 is the hardest tho i suspose....the 9007 would be very easy since it fits right in and gets locked easy...literally took me like 10 minutes to install....only thing that took a while was just finding the place to put the ballasts....

Supposedly Sylvania has a new headlight out, the silverstar ultra. Might be worth a shot for those that don't want to/can't run HIDs.
