Like the topic says, are they worth the cash? Id like a real set of HIDs, but $400 could be put to better use. Also, anyone have the correct part #s for our headlight and foglight bulbs?
Silverstars, worth it or not?

I put them on my car and couldn't be happier. Nice difference for the $37 I paid for them at Walmart. I'd do it.
Yeah, I've heard great things about those SilverStars, but I did buy a KID kit for my SVTF, and couldn't be happier. The color output on the road is noticably different, and more intense.
The bulbs you'd use is an H4, and you can find the sets on Ebay for $280+ now. I'd say go for the real HID just to be real.
But, if you'd rather go the other way for less, than go for it.
lots of guys over at focaljet.com have put on the Silverstars and are very happy with them. My friend put them on his C4 Vette and thinks they are well worth the money and his is very critical if mods don't work.
If I ever get a job they are going on my car.

Here's a shot
I've heard the same from guys in my car club, some of them bought HID setups, and have opted for the Silverstars on their other vehicles. These same people suggested that I save my money in this fashion. I did, but I've not driven at night since changing.
It looks as if the SilverStars are the best call, when you factor in cost. (Cough, well, like the '03 Cobra..Cough cough...)

I have them for my car and i love them. The part number for the silverstars is 9003ST.
Any idea what the number is for the foglights, if there is one? Its an all or nothing thing for me, either i get head and foglight bulbs, or none at all.
Good question, I wanted a nice bulb for the foglight, the stock yellow halogen just aren't cutting it for me.
I got this from Sylvania, it appears that they don't recommend these lamps for driving lamps.
Thank you for your interest in Sylvania product. Unfortunately manufacturers have not yet released 2003 information to us yet. Please contact the parts and service department of your local Ford dealership for the driving light application. We really do not recommend using SilverStar in a driving light application. You would certainly receive the performance from the product, but because of constant use, the life output would be much less (roughly 3-6 months).

Oh, and for my '03, I used the 9007's. The fog lamps are reputed to be 9005.
I think im just going to go pull a foglight and check the bulb. Hopefully ill find a match somewhere. :-D
9005 fits the fog lights...I did both fogs and headlights and am pleased.
Yes, I pulled a fog lamp as well. Hey QS, where in VA, and let me know about your lamp life on the driving lights, I'm on the edge there.
