? ? About Headlights ? ?
I recently had to replace a headlight bulb (low beam) and while at the parts store I bought a pair of Silver Star High-Beam. Has anyone ever mixed the two, i.e. leaving the low beam stock? Don't think there would be any issues with this, but beg your advice.

Very different color of light.....get all Silverstars !
Saw a post about modifying to use "high beam" bulbs in both sockets.

If I had only one to do I would change the lows to the Silver Stars and not the highs, but realistically for another $39.00 you can do both so why not?
They are far better than stock and well worth it.

Have you tried this on a Vette? I would be concerned about melting the housing or drawing too much power, but then again I did switch my fogs to 885s which is a higher wattage with no problem.

I have Silver Star Low's and Cool Blue High beams. The Silver Star were $38 a pair at Wal-Mart the Cool Blue (gives a similar look) were only $10 each so I figured since a rarely use the high beam anyway I would just get the SS for the low beams. Honestly I really cant tell the difference in color temp between the two. They look almost the same and the Cool Blue are almost $20 less.
