Sylvania SilverStar Ultra 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.
These bulbs have very short lives,
ALL the DOT-legal high output bulbs achieve higher output by overdriving the filiments, which reduces bulb life. They have to do this because the DOT puts limits on wattage. The only exception are HID and HIR bulbs, which use new technology to get more light out of less watts.
According to Sylvania:
“Since our SilverStar(r) ULTRA
headlights are up to 50% brighter than standard halogen, they will have
a shorter life span when compared to our other products. Part number
9005SU will last for approximately 125 hours of “on time”, 200 hours for
part 9006SU.”
For comparison, standard Halogens are rated at 1000/350 hours low/high. Use the S
If you want good lights on a 9006/9005 car, get some Toshiba 911 and 912 HIR bulbs. They’ll cost you about $15 more than the Silverstars Ultras, put out more light… and last 5 times as long!

|Sylvania 9006SU BP TWIN Silverstar Ultra, Twin Pack,
As I reach my 60th year on this earth, I have found my “night vision” while driving to be less then optimal! Because of that I wanted to have better lighting from my vehicle’s headlight’s. I also wanted to be in compliance within all 50 states while accomplishing this lighting task.
After a bit of investigation online I decided that the Sylvania 9006SU BP TWIN Silverstar Ultra, Twin Pack was the right choice for me.
I have not been disappointed in that choice. Everything touted about the lamps has been truthful, and I’m glad I did make the switch from the OEM lamps to these.
I suggest anyone needing a similar improvement for their night time driving do the same!

|Excellent light, horrible product life.,
The Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs are the best auto headlamps I’ve ever used. They are as bright as you’re going to get without upgrading to high-intensity lights. My primary concern, is the life of the product. My first set lasted 8 months, and I don’t have day running lights and I assume I use them as any other average/reasonable driver. I was unhappy with that set, so I researched more on Sylvania-Osram’s website and they have posted on their website a description that says these specific lights do not last as long as less bright lights. That makes since, but 8 months?!?!
Their customer service was excellent and sent me a new set immediately after my complaint. Before installing the new Ultra’s, I put in Sylvania’s lights that are one step below these, but are still supposed to be relatively bright. Those were pretty good, but also only last 8 months. I’m now back to the Ultra’s that they sent me, but after that…I’m not sure if I want to spend $40 – $50 ever 8 months.
