where else can I look

for Sylvania Silver Stars

per Randy and 'nubs' recommendations?

That article from http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/bulbs/bulbs.html is quite interesting and believeable.

I was surprised at the price I found on Sylvania's website (30.00 when all is said and done). You can get them at Autozone for 20 bucks. If you don't have an Autozone in your area, you can order them online at autozone.com.

Thanks

I do have an Autozone, but I'm looking into that bulb recommended by the link at that other forum "scoobymods". He recommends a slightly yellow tinted part "Narva All Weather".

As I do a lot of fog driving I like the idea of a slightly yellowier light. I'm sure you want to be as far from yellow as possible.

Anyway I send off an email to this Dan guy that is linked in the forum to inquire.....

Ah. Yes, I did a search on the Narva lights yesterday. Had to bail on it due to actually having to do some work. Found a supplier in Australia before I had to dump the search, though. .

Narva, I did find out, is a lighting manufacturer in Germany (kind of the "Sylvania" of Germany). I'll do some more searching and see what I come up with.

Dog gone! This is a tough hunt. The more I searched for Narva lamps, the further away they got. From the UK, to Germany to Russia . . . sheesh!

I found out that Narva is a sister company of Philips. Philips offers a bulb called "Weathervision" that is pretty much the same animal as the Narva yellow bulbs. Available here (for about 18 bucks with free shipping around the world):

http://www.autolamps-online.com/products/orderform.htm

Also found this resource (16 bucks each for high and low beams plus 12.00 shipping -- payable through paypal)

http://suvlights.tripod.com/suvlight...thervision.htm

Wow i just read an article on there about HID lighting that was fairly interesting even though it was somewhat misguided.

Because I didn't see a clear reference to 9005 and 9006 bulbs. Saw H3's H4's H7's, full light sets . . . a warning not to order "overwattage" 900X bulbs, but, no way to order 9005 & 9006 bulbs. I guess I'm just missing it.

You just need to email him

I asked him wear I could get such Narva bulbs...and he said...right here!

I'm waiting for him to call back so I can place a phone order.

I hope he's legit.

Me too. If not, I've, at least, armed you with alternative resources.

Please report back re: your "customer experience."
