Osram silverstar bulbs

**mycarsavectra** · 25th October 2006, 21:52

Just bought a pair of Carbon headlight protector thingys from RedGriffin, they're doing a 10% off on Osram Silverstar bulbs. My question is are they worth buying and do they make any difference to the nightlighting on the Vectra?
Cheers in advance guys.

That was my 'conclusion' after fitting them - somewhat unconclusive!!

not a lot , the best thing you can do is go for hid conversion , its the only real way of improving the lights , the ones on my facelifht vec were pretty poor with halogens , shoved a hid kit in and they are now brilliant .

approx £200 for a decent kit and the looms....that may be a little shy though.

I think I'll just need to drive slower in the dark mate.
