White Lights
Does anyone know where I can find just the white headlights for a '04 Z06? I'm not looking for the whole assembly, just the bulbs. The stock bulbs just look too dull and I'd like to go with the white-type lighting. Where can I find the best pricing on them? Thanks.

i had the silverstars and they did give much better light then the stock lamps. then i switched to the revxtreme 5k HID lights and they just blow them both away, they even work better then my infiniti that came with xenon, those lights look dim now.

I have the same kit and love it. The best $350 I've ever spent on this car. Uses stock housings, replaces bulbs and adds ballasts. Plug-and-play system, it's very easy to install.
If you email Dino at sales@revxtreme.com he'll fix you right up.

I bought a set of Silverstars for my '04 Z06 today and installed them. Lights are definitely whiter and brighter. I am curious about a statement made above about some having modified to install the Lo beam in the hi beam socket for brighter light. Wouldn't that be the other way around ... modifying to put the hi beam bulb in the lo beam socket? The pacakage the Silverstars came in says the lo beam bulbs are 1,000 lumens while the hi beam bulbs are 1,700 lumens. Seems like putting the lo beam bulbs in the hi beam sockets would provide less light while putting the hi beam bulbs in the lo beam sockets would provide more light?

The mod is to put a high beam in the low beam socket. I have done this and does seem to make a good difference. Pretty cheap mod.
