Lightbulb Osram Night Breaker & Silverstar Reverse Bulbs

Well I finally installed my set of H11 Osram Night Breaker head light bulbs. Here are some comparison pics.

Reverse lights, Left: Silverstar, Right: OEM

AND... My mystery mod, can anyone see it?



Review:
Love them. All the way around. They're brighter and whiter than stock and every thing I hoped for. I recommend them to any one looking for a nice replacement halogen bulb that doesn't want to go with an HID kit. Now I just need a set to replace the fog light bulbs with because they don't match at all. I may just go with Silverstars (since Sylvania now makes them in H11) for the fogs though. As for the reverse lights, you can definitely see a difference. It's a brighter, whiter light, but it's not really that big of a deal. I don't know if they're worth the $8 since no one will probably ever notice. For tinted window though, it helps.

Did you swap out your turnsignal bubls with silverstars and get rid of the "egg yolk" look on the driver's side? I think you did. It looks like mine!

The white headlight light looks so much better, by the way.

I swapped the turn signal bulbs with chrome coated amber turn signals bulbs. IE. these... (not from the site shown in the pic though. I got them from where else... eBay!)



I honestly don't like the blueish/purple color the Silverstar signal bulbs give when they aren't lit.

And thanks for the comments on the Night Breakers. They're great. I just have to get matching fogs now...

And I can't believe the lack of responses to this thread. Sorry I didn't buy HID's and put them into my headlights meant for halogens. I guess I'm just not cool. lol

Rick, you knew that i would be watching! I think i am going to have to order those headlight bulbs up. Maybe you could get a couple shots in the day of the parking lights? Yeah, my silverstars do give off a blue/ purple look in the parking lights. I found them on sale, and i hated the egg yolk, so what do you do?!?
Thanks for the pics!
Those should look fantastic, though.

Thanks! Let him know Silverstars are also available in H11 now too. Just no Ultras.

I did try an eye lid and I didn't like it. It looked "cheap." So I took it off immediately.

I knew you'd be a first responder. I can get some day pics up, no problem!
