Where to buy Sylvania SilverStar auto bulbs online

[BuddTX]

My local Auto Zone sells the Sylvania SilverStar auto bulbs for 19.99, but the packages are all handled over and actually open, as if someone slipped in a cheaper bulb and replaced the SilverStar with another bulb.

don't want to spend 80.00 on bulbs that might not be Silverstars.

Does anyone know of any online store that sells the bulbs at decent prices?

Thanks.

'The High End look of HID..' So they are just colored bulbs or is there really something different about them?

That's basically it.
The glass has a coating that filters the light so that the "color" of the light is changed.
Since you can't filter a light without decreasing the output, I'm guessing that the bulbs must be putting out more light before the filtering (than clear bulbs) in order to get the same light output after the filtering.

All of the street-legal Sylvania bulbs put out the same lumens (I couldn't find this anywhere on their site but it was confirmed by Sylvania in an e-mail).

Cheaper-quality eBay knockoffs simply take standard bulbs and color them. They may have the same look and color but they're also dimmer.

I've read mixed things on the silverstar bulb about them having longevity issues, and other comments about the blue look bulbs being tinted , it does reduce the light output, it just filters out the more yellow colors from the light. I read some good things about the Philips vision plus bulbs from europe and ordered some online. The Sylvania xtra vision are supposed to be better than the tinted ones as well.

Were you able to order 900x bulbs from Europe?

Where did you order them from?
