Topic: Time for a headlight upgrade

[Al]

Picked these up during our cross border shopping trip. Now I just have to wait for it to quit snowing.

Looking forward to your review.

Well I'm going from stock to this, so I'm expecting a marked improvement. 
I'll post up when I get them in.

They are a Tad brighter and whiter then the Ultras..  I like mine....

The big question will be how long they will last. I've seen a lot of complaints about the Silverstars not lasting very long. I hope you like them and that they last for you.

My 2 cent's worth is I'd rather get a cheap set of HIDs ($30-$35) and be done with it. They put out way more light than any halogen capsule will. I went from an 80W modified high beam bulb in my lows to 35W HIDs and there is no comparison - the HIDs are way brighter. I won't even discuss how bright the 50W HIDs that went into my fogs are........

Is there a thread on here on your setup MBT?

Well they're in, we'll see what happens.

No, but I've commented in several HID threads. Between the different vehicles I own or have owned I've had at least 4 different brands of cheap HID setups; all of them have worked flawlessly. Most have been bought at auction on fleabay. I'd be hesitant to put 50W HIDs in a small housing but am not concerned on the cladded Avalanche because the fog light housing is pretty large.

My big question is this:  what year AV are you putting this in?  If I change out the headlight bulbs to this style of light I sure as heck will be getting matching fog lights. But I have the 2007 and up until about a year ago no one sold aftermarket bulbs, or at least that I could find. My first fog light went out in about 09 and I had to order from the dealer because no one sold them.

I guess I could search now and find out but I'm sure you guys can tell me where to go to get the HID's for both my head lights and my fog lights???

Went for a ride last night and all I can say is, that compared to stock, what a difference. We'll have to see how long they last. I agree with DD, I will be upgrading my fogs in the near future.
