Regrettable Purchase
on October 21, 2021
Posted by: Thunder Road Runner
from Searcy, Arkansas
Verified Purchase:No
I asked the auto parts store sales person for the brightest whitest bulbs available. I paid to have them installed and drove the car home. Waited for night time. Turned the lights on. They are no brighter, they are no whiter than the old ones previously in the car. They are, in fact, rather yellow and dim & offer a narrow spread. They were expensive and I am extremely disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bright bulb, but burn out quick.

I've had to replace these bulbs at least 3 times in a year. I thought it was an electrical issue, but these bulbs just have an ultra short lifespan. I wish I kept all the receipts.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointing longevity

Bought these to replace the OEM set in my Chev. Suburban. The light output is great, but the low beam bulbs have already burned out after just a few months and, of course, I don't have the receipt.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ADVICE FROM AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP
on March 5, 2025
Posted by: AUTO SHOP OWNER 48 years
from Boulder, Colorado
Verified Purchase:No
Sylvania Silver Star Bulbs are very short in life, and very short in performance. Slick Marketing Sylvania, with the Silver Star Packaging and the tinted blue glass capsule. Daring customers to purchase a premium product image and claim with pricing to boot, but all who get duped are just going to be disappointed with the incredible short life and unremarkable increased performance. Do not buy them again. Do not cash in on a warranty. Do not support this particular line the Silver Start bulb. You would think a company like Sylvania, would improve this product, make it superior and stop non-sense like this. But no, they choose to carry on and profit and provide a lip service that is old and tired. I replace a lot of headlight bulbs for my customers at my small little auto repair shop. The most recognized headlight bulb of failure I replace is the Sylvania Silver Star. And to my customer's amazement they are surprised it is a bulb that is failed for they just bought new bulbs themselves or had another replace them for themselves, OH so recently. The claim they have an electrical issue, but no, almost never a wiring issue just another SILVER STAR gone Super Nova and being a black hole in the customer's wallet. A good quality bulb will last meany years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for contacting us, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Since we have designed our SilverStar® and SilverStar® ULTRA headlights to be brighter and whiter, they have a shorter life span compared to our other products due to the high light output filament. Our 12-month warranty was designed with these factors in mind to offer warranty replacements/refunds should the lamps fail within a year's time and meet the needs of our consumers. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us so we can assist you further. 1-800-729-3777.

I would definitely buy this product
on February 2, 2024
Posted by: Stat

Verified Purchase:No
I read a bunch of reviews on this product bashing its life span. The warranty they offer is more than the life span. I got 2.5 years out of these bulbs. I don't have a long commute and I don't drive often at night. When I drive in the daylight I make sure they're off to prolong the life. The rating on the package does say 200hrs. It doesn't say 200 night hours. If your commute is 1hr both ways and you have them on you're technically only rated for 100 trips/days. Which is about 20 weeks. 20 weeks is about 5 months. Do a little research before you light this company up with bad reviews. You get exactly what you pay for. These bulbs will give you a massive amount of light with a short lifespan. Buy less bright lights and you'll get more life. My only gripe with these bulbs is the price tag.
I would recommend this to a friend!
