johnsts Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Philips crystal vision ultra are very good, they give a simulated hid/xenon look without diminishing output much and last much longer than the silverstars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I used the Sylvania Silverstars for about ten years on my 1997 ETC as a brightness upgrade and loved them.

JohnnyG Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 No matter which bulbs you choose, don't stray too far from the original equipment wattage rating. Somehow the number 55W or 65 W sticks in my head from my '99 STS. To put in bulbs that pull too much wattage will generate excess heat, which increases the risk of melting the socket, or overloading the connnections, or possibly melting the wires themselves.

Cadillac Jim Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 What JohnnyG Says. Most bulb manufacturers will have a crossover or lookup for your make and model. Your car uses standard halogen bulbs, 9005 for high beam and 9006 for low beam. Stick with bulbs compatible with these types and you should be good.
