Angry for the life of me I can't find ultra silverstars

Would someone point me in the right direction, thanks

HID's are not an option, tried them with my H2 and with no offroading blew a couple of ballasts and fry'd some wiring.

I was in an Autozone and an O'Reilly's around here last week and the both had the Ultra Silverstars and the normal Silverstars. Don't know if you have either of them where you are.

And these bulbs will fix you? Cool! I haven't seen any bulb add more light farther down the road. I'm running 100w bulbs and it is brighter in front of the truck but without the auxiliary deer hunter lights I still can't see any further. invest in a good set of auxiliary lights that really light up the night. ks

Bought a set of SilverStar Ultra's (9007 bulb) at Advance Auto today. They are 25% off! $35 for a set. We'll see tonight if they are any better than the ones I removed. They sure couldn't be any worse, this is my first Dodge, and the headlights are the sickest pale yellow I have ever seen! I guess my night vision aint what it used to be.

I'm not sure about the 3rd gens but us 2nd gen guys can buy heavier after market wiring harnesses for the HID's.

Welp, They are definitely, better than the stock lights that's for sure. Light is a lot whiter, and I can see farther. Nobody flashed their lights at me so I guess they aren't too bright. Afterall, they still have to be legal. I hope they last more than a year, which I see from reading here and other places, seems to be a problem. Sylvania's website claims they last 30% longer than regular Silverstars, so they must have aknowledged a problem.

Wonder how the Silverstars Ultra compares to the GE Nighthawks?
I'm running the standard Silverstars now and still wish for something better.
