Sylvania 9003ST BP Twin SilverStar High Performance Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2 Review

After 8 years, one of the original headlight bulbs in our Honda Odyssey burned out.I discovered that Sylvania had these really cool replacement bulbs that were brighter and whiter than the OEM ones.Not wanting a yellow (oem bulb) and a (new) bright white one, I replaced both bulbs with the Sylvania type, the 9003/HB2 "High Performance Lighting".It cost about $[...] for two. Everything was fine for about 7 months until one of them burned out.I thought that was weird, so I bought a new one, installed it, then looked for the warranty statement on the replacement bulb package.There is none.I wrote to the customer service at www.sylvania.com/auto, expecting them to be really embarrassed at the short life.They weren't. Here's the important part of their reply:

"The life of any halogen bulb varies based on vehicle type, vehicle voltage, amount of time the bulb is on, road conditions, proper installation, and correct application. The average life of SilverStar® headlights are approximately one year. If the bulbs do not meet your expectations, we will replace them within a year of purchase when obtained through an authorized US retailer.

With our SYLVANIA SilverStar® products, the primary goal is to offer the brightest, whitest light. Research has shown SilverStar® headlights improve driver visibility and reaction time. However, since our SilverStar® headlights are up to 35% brighter and our SilverStar® ULTRA headlights are up to 50% brighter than standard halogen, they may have a shorter life span compared to our other products.

We offer a wide variety of products to satisfy customer needs including brightness, durability, color options and increased visibility.We recommend evaluating your lighting annually as part of your regular maintenance."They then included instructions for replacing the burned out bulb - a ONE TIME courtesy.That's RIGHT, WHEN it happens again, I'm out of luck as evidenced by this closing:

"If you experience similar performance with the replacement product please contact us again so that we can make an alternate lighting recommendation for your vehicle."

So, to summarize:

1. Silverstar bulbs aren't engineered to last.Much like a meteor, they're designed to be very bright and burn out quickly. But, meteor shows are free and Sylvania Silverstar bulbs cost $[...] a pair.

2.The website lists the performance rating as 200 hours. Yes, for an AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCT.If you use your lights ONE HOUR a DAY, these aren't designed to last even a YEAR.

3. Sylvania gives NO CLUE on the packaging that you're signing up for a once a year replacement schedule at $[...] when you start down this road.

4. Sylvania will grace you with ONE replacement under warranty if it fails before a year is up, but that's it. After the first failure, you're out of luck.

This is a TERRIBLE PRODUCT only because I'm not interested in having headlights burn out while I'm traveling or at other random times at one year intervals. Especially when it's a product that's a little tough to replace (you can't get any finger oils or other oils/dirt on the bulb during installation or it will kill it prematurely - this is standard for any halogen or xenon bulb gas product). OEM products last 7-10 YEARS or more, but even 5 years on this product would be acceptable.1 year or LESS is NOT for this type of product, and Sylvania is scamming people for doing this.

This is a SHAMEFUL product that Sylvania should be embarrassed to offer for sale.NO one should buy it - EVER.I would give it 0 stars if I was allowed to.

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.

I installed these on my 2000 Ford Focus, using disposable gloves as recommended, being careful not to touch the glass, and applying dielectric grease to the connectors.They were nice and bright, great for country roads at night.I give them 2 stars because they only lasted 4 months.

Dorman HELP! 74357 Seatbelt Stop Kit Review

Easy to install, used a pliers with cloth to snap the two halves together. So much better than searching for the seat belt buckle down near the floor.

Professional Headlight Restoration Kit with Polisher and Plastic Polish and Cleaner Review

I thought this was a good idea to restore headlight covers on cars, but when i read all that
I would have to do, It seems to be too much work, and if I mess up in one area, its ruined.
This is more of a job for professionals than at home jobs.
Way too much trouble. So I wasted my money and will never use it.

Sylvania 9007ST BP SilverStar High Performance Halogen Headlight Review

What a difference these bulbs made on our car. The bulbs in our 2005 Ion were 5 years old, but the OEM bulbs never shined like these. It is a very nice white light that really light up the road at night, without blinding other drivers.

Sylvania H4ST BP SilverStar 60-Watt High Performance Halogen Headlight Review

I though it would be a gimmick or a waste of money when I bought this bulb.The stock bulb on my Suzuki C50 cruiser would not let me go beyond 60MPH at night, as I would out run the headlight (actually on a country road, it was more like 45MPH). This bulb made an immediate difference.Not only can I see further, but the peripheral vision is much better as well.I feel much safer driving at night with this bulb.

Turtle Wax T-240KT Headlight Lens Restorer Kit Review

Simply put, it does what's it's supposed to. This bad boy turned my almost beyond redemption - yellow crust covered headlights into working headlights again. It didn't turned them into 100% "like new" headlights but it did restore about 90% of their long gone "Like new" look. Which was more than enough to pass with flying colors the rigorous Maryland State inspection, which was basically the reason I purchased this thing in the first place.

Just a word of warning: Grab yourself a low stool or chair to sit down in front of your headlights at a comfortable level and 2 or 3 servings of the cold drink of your choice and Be prepared to spend the most boring hour of your life rubbing this thing until your forearms go numb. Yes, this thing works but it's 50% elbow grease powered. But for 10 bucks and with the included pads, you can't go wrong. Oh, and you'll only spend about 1/4 of the contents on the job (2 headlights). So I'd say this kit lasts enough to restore the headlights in 4 vehicles. 1 more thing: Make sure to have a little bit of car wax at hand before starting the job. You'll need it at the end to seal the finish and it's not included in the kit. (I noticed this just when I was ready to begin and I had to drop everything and make a run to store for some wax) All in all, just for the bang for your buck and the effectiveness of the product, 5 stars.
