Subject: [Miata] Slyvania Silver Star Headlight
Since everybody was talking about the Sylvania Silver Star headlights, I though I would share my impressions as I just installed a set on my 90'. They are part number H6024ST, picked them up for $42 for the pair at Advanced Auto (buy one get one half price deal) and there is a $10 mail in rebate.
First off, they do not look too much fancier then regular replacement headlights, I was expecting them to be more like the Hella's, with more precise cuts in the glass to better distribute and direct the light.
My test drive; they give off a much whiter light the regular halogens do. Not a whole lot brighter though. Things just appear whiter instead of the normal yellowish cast. The light cut off on the drivers side is noticeably sharper. They do project more light to the sides of the road then the regular lights, but, not a huge amount more. The brights are not much brighter the low beams, but still a little brighter and whiter then the regular lights.
Are they worth it? I had caught a rock on one of my lights a few nights ago, so I had to replace at least one. So in my case, needing new light(s) it was probably worth the extra expense. I would have been disappointed if would have taken out two perfectly good regular halogens. I will probably try a set of european spec Hella's at some point in time as I do quit a bit
of night time driving.
Just my .02 cents worth..........
