Sylvania 9006ST BP TWIN SilverStar High Performance Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2 Review

Sylvania 9006ST BP TWIN SilverStar High Performance Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2I fell for the hype and it was a mistake. Other reviewers will no doubt agree that these are short-lived bulbs and there is a reason for this. These bulbs are colored blue to *simulate* the HID look. Any color on the glass actually reduces output, so Sylvania uses an over-rated filament to get brighter light to compensate for the light absorbed by the coloring. Because federal laws are very specific about the output of headlights, Sylvania cannot use a filament that draws more current so the filament is burning overly hot and therefore has a shorter life. They same seems true for their uncolored X-Tra Vision bulbs. (Which may be the Silverstars without the color.) I tried those and they both burned out in less than a year, two weeks apart.

I too have switched to GE bulbs and hope their bulbs are more durable.

Product Description:
Sylvania SilverStar High Performance Halogen Headlight is fashioned for brighter and whiter light. It has dual filament for both high beam and low beam. This operates with internal gas pressure which significantly reduces the rate of tungsten evaporation. Its analogous non-halogen incandescent lamp operates the same filament temperature with greater luminance and efficiency. This combined effect of higher pressure and the halogen cycle give halogen lamp much longer life.
