Just slapped in some Sylvania Silverstars. All I can say is OMFG I DARE TO RIDE AT NIGHT AGAIN! 18and change a piece but WELL worth it. ANYONE who thinks there stock or even aftermarket(I had Cuzo hyperwhytes) lights are a bit dim I'd HIGHLY recommend the Silverstars. | ||

good to know, I have wanted to buy them but thought they were kinda of steep in price, guess I am going to have to bite the bullet like you did. darn I have to buy more stuff for my baby  | ||

| Buelltroll |
Not sure of the part number but you can get em at walmart or just about any parts store. Sylvania Silverstar H3 bulbs. (Message edited by buelltroll on November 12, 2005) | ||

Wal-Mart by me just put them on clearance at $30 for a pair. H-7's for a lightning that is. (Message edited by dapope on November 13, 2005) | ||

Are the silverstars brighter than piaa hyper whites? | ||
| Thin_air |
Is it H7's for the lightning and H3's for the firebolt? | ||
| Buellin_ri |
h3s for the bolt, dunno about the lightning | ||
| Tq_freak |
yea H7's for the lightning | ||

The SilverStars do make a world of difference in the quality of light output. My only complaint about the SilverStars are they last only about 6k per bulb. | ||

Hey all, anyone know which SilverStar might fit a '99M2? My lighting sucks at night.  | ||
| Buelltroll |
What type of bulbs does it use? I saw H3 H2 H7 at wally world. | ||

I am wondering if the SilverStar would make that big of an improvement on the Firebolt lights as it does on the Lighting. The reflective material on the bolt's light housing sucks big time. | ||
| Midknyte |
The Silverstars are not *that* much brighter on the Firebolt (I stayed with the same wattage), but they are a whiter light, which helps a bunch in itself. They are an improvement over stock. | ||
| Hkwan |
Midknyte, did you have to take the front fairing out to put the bulbs in? thanks. | ||
| Buelltroll |
No you just uncap the rubber seals in back of the lights. Be careful with the little wire deals that actually hold the bulbs in I bent the •••• out of one of mine and now one of the bulbs vibrates a little because its a little loose now. | ||

The reflective material on the bolt's light housing sucks big time. Shred noticed his was flaking off, so he re-painted them using chrome spray paint. | ||
| Hkwan |
Thank you Buelltroll for the pointer. Glitch, sounds like the old paint has to be cleaned off before spraying it with new paint. Would anyone know when brand/model of high temp spray paint would be the brightest? |
