Color Matters
When you notice a brighter, whiter color from performance bulbs or the HID units founds in newer cars, it's certainly not just for looks. Both Hella and SYLVANIA bulbs claim to emit a color as close to daylight as possible- which is easier on the drivers eyes resulting in less fatigue, improved reaction time and alertness, and the ability to react to changes in the roadway faster. If you ever make long nighttime trips, the proper color-temperature of bulb is a must-have.


What about my trusty old truck?

Even if you've got an older ride or a pickup truck, you can still upgrade. SYLVANIA's line of SilverStar headlights includes sealed beam options. Hella makes a sealed beam conversion kit, allowing owners to keep a glass sealed-beam housing which will accept a high performance bulb. High quality reflective surfaces and OEM quality components ensure long life and optimal visibility.

Are they really worth it?
YES! For your safety and that of your family, any product that can give you an edge is worthwhile. Plain and simple- performance bulb upgrades DO help drivers see farther up the road. This could mean the difference between seeing an obstacle on time to brake for it or not- possibly avoiding an accident. In that perspective, the cost of the bulbs seems nearly trivial.
