2009 Lancer GTS - My Second Mod (Sylvania SilverStar Ultra Bulbs) !PICTURES!

Just installed my new Sylvania SilverStar Ultra low beem bulbs. I took some pictures before and after for a comparison. Each of the following picture angles have a before and after so you can see the difference.

Before:


After:

And finally a picture of the new low beams with my standard fog lights. You can really see the difference, fogs are yellowish, and the new headlights are much brighter and whiter!

I am happy with them so far, really enhances the look from the exterior and visibility for the driver. If you have any comments or want other picture requests let me know, thanks

I was going to try the sylvannia's too but I heard they don't last very long especially in Canada with our cold winters.

I might try them now after seeing your before and after pics...looks considerably brighter.

Or, drop another 40-50 bucks and get some REAL HID's that blow these outta the water.

^^ I work for sylvania so its no big deal to get more if they burn out, anyways I'd rather just have replacement bulbs like these then go through the whole HID conversion and have something screw up so Mitsu voids part of my warranty

last i heard was that DOT is going to make hids illegal if they didn't come stock with the car because they tend to blind other drivers..
