Let There Be (More) Light!

I had purchased a pair of Sylvania H6024ST SilverStar 65-Watt High Performance Halogen Headlights last year when I was reassembling the car. I figured any modern light would be good enough, and the price was about $20 per bulb, so they must be pretty good. Well, they didn't work out for me. I found them to be not bright enough, which might be a result of the white light they emit (rather than the usual yellow).





These might fit the bill for somebody that just wants a white light. I'm assuming that a whiter light requires far more light to illuminate the road. Looking at the lit bulb they seem bright enough, but not driving down the road (for me anyway).





So I bought a pair of Sylvania H6024XV XtraVision 65-Watt High Performance Halogen Headlights from Amazon. These appear brighter to me, so I can see better at night while driving down the road.





In the last photo you can see the yellowish light rather than the white light from the ST's above... And these were $13 each from Amazon.





(The first two photos are the ST's and the last two are the XV's.)

  1. The lights are perfect. We just have to be careful in the way we drive because it may cause a glare on someone else.
