just installed osram silver star h1 - Honda Prelude Forum

jayz · 04-18-2003, 08:37 AM

so far i like it and its far more brighter than the stock ones. its kinda the same color but i think the osram's are on the lighter side of yellow. plus the range (beam/shine of the light) is wider and farther than stock. if u like the color of stock you'll definetly like these bulbs. i also got a free pair of wedge bulbs that came with my order.

what was the total price including shipping?and where did you get it from?

godfather16 · 04-18-2003, 10:03 AM

lighter side of yellow? yah know you have to burn them in right? the true color of your HID's will come in time.

GOT ANY PICS, I wanna see!

jayz · 04-18-2003, 10:46 AM

it came out at 35 shipped with the free pair of wedge bulbs, it took around five days for me to receive the bulbs not bad considering i ordered in england. www.powerbulbs.com

godfather, ill get pics up soon, the lighter side of yellow ( at least from my observation is not totally yellow in color kinda like a milder version)

alphajesse · 04-18-2003, 11:09 AM

jayz · 04-18-2003, 11:19 AM

osram silver star H1 bulbs are halogen, not hid.

I have read good reviews about this bulb, I might try a set when my piaa's go out.

I just think it sucks that we cant get better bulbs in a store and we have to order them,I mean even pep boys have sylvania silverstars,but the only size they never have is h1

From what I have seen these bulbs do put out a bit more light on the road...brigher light. But over all they are the same color as stock. I'd love to see pics if at all possible.

How are they compare to Philip Visionplus? are they brighter? whiter? last longer than Visionplus?

Mw182006 · 04-19-2003, 10:27 AM

I'm happy with the osrams, picked up a set off ebay for about $20.

MugenPoweredLude · 04-19-2003, 09:16 PM

ahhh OEM are good for me....i want HID's tho

elppa · 04-19-2003, 10:13 PM

Yeah I really like them too. Installed in my car like 7 months ago and still going good. For those who does not know: Osram bulbs is NOT blue, purple, white tinted bulbs, they are HALOGEN, close to STOCK bulbs, but much bighter (50%). It's better than everything I've tried so far, it's cheap, reliable in bad weather and bright. You guys should really check it out. Believe me, they're worth it.

That's because there's no such thing as a sylvania silverstar in H1.

To my knowledge, that is incorrect. They are either out now or coming out very soon.

I thought sylvania and osram were the same company,they just used different names in different countries?

Vapor · 04-20-2003, 08:34 AM

they are the same company. but the one marketed under Sylvania has a slight silver tint. there is an Osram marketed H1, there is NOT a sylvania marketed H1.

They're not out yet. therefore, there isn't an H1 version. that's why he can't get them at pep boys. what's incorrect about my statement?

MugenPoweredLude · 04-20-2003, 10:02 AM

so whats the type of light were supposed to get?

I was told they were out already. I actually emailed Sylvania about this months ago and they said they were coming out in a month or two, so I thought they were out already. My bad.

Anyways, I was looking to by the Eurospec Osram Silverstars. Now I may try and buy that Osram HID kit thats in the groupbuy.
