Pics of 9005 Silverstar

I just replaced my stocks since one of them burnt. Here are some pics for those others that are wondering how they compare to stocks. I will admit I'm still looking forward to real HID's but for now, these will do.

Camera settings were the same and took at the same distance.

Stock...

Sorry. I don't have any wall shots since, well I don't have a wall to shot them at right now.

You can find information for the mod right here.

Re: Pics of 9005 Silverstar

Next step will be to take the whole housing out and clean it...

Re: Pics of 9005 Silverstar

I read an online guide but that was a long time ago and can't remember where I read it. It was pretty handy too lol. But I forgot most of the steps

Re: Pics of 9005 Silverstar

I did the same thing a while back, stock on right silverstar on the left.


This is what it looks like at night now.

Re: Pics of 9005 Silverstar

Quoted from Eddie on 3ZC "Or if guys dont want to use the silverstars a great upgrade would be Nissan's new 9012 bulbs that is used on the 04-05 Maximas. I have been told they get great results."
As of now they're only a dealer product since they're new, but they will be on the markey sooner or later.

Re: Pics of 9005 Silverstar

Not sure, I'm sure you can just mod it to fit though. I'll ask Eddie more about this later.
