SilverStar ULTRA headlights provide up to 25% increased down-road visibility as compared to the regular SilverStar, increased side road visibility, and up to a 20% brighter light as compared to standard halogen headlights. They also last up to 30% longer than regular SilverStar headlights. The pure, white light emitted by the SilverStar ULTRA is closer to the color of daylight, which helps drivers see better at night.

Customer Reviews
Let there be light.
My daughter was complaining that she was having a difficult time seeing any distance while driving at night. She goes away to college, and the school is located in a very rural area. Many of the roads she drives on have no street lighting. I installed the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras in her car, and she was amazed at how much farther down the road she can now see. In fact I was so impressed that I went out and purchased a pair of Sylvania Silverstar sealed beam headlights for my work van. What a difference bright white lighting makes when it comes to driving at night. This product is awesome.
Great Bulbs, Improved the pattern greatly
I replaced my high beam bulbs with the Ultras a few days ago. Much better light pattern now, can see the signs at night much better. The light is much whiter with a blue tint. Would recommend to everyone that drives at night.
Some other reviews say that the Sylvania bulbs burn out too soon. Being a technician mechanic most of my life, the main thing you must do when handling these bulbs for install is wear gloves.
The oil from your hands will create "hot spots" on the bulbs and they will burn out prematurely. So buy some latex gloves and put them on from the second you open the package, to when you are done. Then they will last longer than a year. My 9004 Silver Stars in my Jetta are going on three years now.
Bulb Burn-Out Issue Solved (For Me)!
For several years I was having a problem with the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs burning out every 6 to 12 months. I loved the light so much that I tolerated it and replaced them with the same bulb.
I was using the practice of letting the Camry turn the lights on automatically with a turn of the ignition key. The process was (1) key turned to ignition (2)lights turn on (3) engine starts. I could see the lights flutter a little during the starting process.
I then experimented by manually turning on the lights AFTER the car was started. It has now been 2 years with NO BULB BURNOUTS. I believe turning the ignition with the lights already in auto on creates extra wear and tear resulting in more frequent burn-outs.
