Rimfaxe Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I had a headlight burn out a few days ago, so after much research on this forum I decided to order OSRAM - Silverstar +50% ECE from suvlights.com. I find out today that suv.lights.com is out of stock on the ORSAM Silverstar. They want to substitute GE Megalight +50 percent http://www.gelighting.com/eu/litlib/downloads/auto_megalight50_60_en.pdf I'm not familiar with these lights. Anyone have any experience with these? I thought this would be a good opportunity for a small upgrade, but at this rate, its going to be a trip to Pep Boys to get the lights back on. Any recommendations?

gtguy Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Rimfaxe, try http://www.powerbulbs.com for the Osrams. It's coming from the UK, but they have free shipping, and are very fast. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have the UK Osrams......very overrated, IMHO - they were no brightet than stock. One burned out on me last week, so I swapped for the Osram All-Weather H7's last night. Similar to Xenonk's PIAA Amber/Ion Crystal bulbs. Interesting, but I don't think I will keep them in.

Rimfaxe Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Thanks for the input. I ended up ordering the GE bulbs (mostly in the interest of time). I didn't think of ebay- prob would have ordered there if I had been more astute. I'm sure these bulbs will be OK. It would be an interesting comparison between the two- Rimfaxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
