Default small upgrades

just took some advice /recommendations from you all. I got a set of Sylvania silverstar lamps for ole' yeller....Very nice, that's gonna **** off every driver in all of st. Louis county. Also seeing as though the left horn went south with the birds picked up a new horn. Now if you don't see me coming you'll hear me.

I HIGHLY REC. THE SILVERSTARS

The Sylvania Silverstars have an upgrade. The "Cool Blue". I got a set of these last month and they are just great. Give them a try for your next set. They are $2.00 per light more. Sure worth the increase.

I got a pair at Autozone. I wasn't thrilled with them and took them out of my Vette after about 100 miles. I'll give them to you if you'll pay for shipping.

First yes, I live in St. Peters MO which is about 2 miles from St. Charles MO. I would warn your brother!!!!

I bought the silverstars at a local parts store. I paid 23.99 per light. While they are not the best I feel they do a good job. I wish I knew about the cool blue upgrade to them.

Kwik, let's make this thing scream dude!!

I have those lights also, i think they are a lot better then the ones that i had in there before. It is whiter than the ones i had before which really lights up the road.
