Product Dimensions constitutes the following Width: 1.4 in, Height: 6.5in, Length: 5.9in and weight 1.86 ounce. No:of Bulbs : 2 Bulb Base: PX26d Wattage: 55w Voltage:12v Review: Not a "Whiter brighter Light" - I tried these bulbs on my 2012 MK6 Volkswagen Jetta. The light isn’t white or as bright as LED lights. After using them for a month, I switched to LED lights from desertcart, and the difference is significant. If you're looking for brighter lights, go for LEDs, but make sure to use them only for low beams to avoid blinding oncoming vehicles. Review: Significant improvement over stock - purchased these bulbs for the high and low beams in my '11 Jetta because I live in a rural area and do a lot of night driving. The difference from stock is spectacular. Noticeably brighter on the road, greater throw, and slightly whiter to look at (not nearly HID white, but better than stock). Do these compare to factory HIDs in projector housings? Well, not exactly. But they are superior to any stock halogen and about are as bright and legal as one can get. Just a few caveats for these bulbs, 1) as with all halogens, wear clean nitrile/latex gloves when installing as any oil off your skin or dirt will greatly reduce their life; don't eat french fries, install the bulbs, then rate them 1 star because they burnt out the next day; and 2) Their burn time as per past experience and Sylvania literature is a fraction of normal halogens, expect to replace these at least once a year. To me, the trade-offs are worth it -- I will give up longevity for greater visibility and safety. If you can't sacrifice longevity and don't think the extra $20 a year is worth seeing better, then look elsewhere. But just note that any halogen bulb that can deliver greater actual performance will have significantly less burn time because the filaments can only handle so much extra power before giving up. UPDATE 1, October 2012: 13 months and 16,000 miles later and the bulbs are still going strong. I had installed Silverstar Ultras in my highs, lows, and fogs in a 2011 VW Jetta, and all 6 remain intact (living in a rural area I usually run with the fog/driving lights on). So take this testament as you will against those that say their bulbs burned out quickly. Also, some manufacturers run higher voltages to the headlights causing these types of high output halogens to burn out fast. From my experience at least, VW doesn't appear to be among them. UPDATE 2, August 2013: My first bulb, a low beam, finally burned out; 23 months/27,000 miles after being installed. ## Features - BRIGHTEST H7 HEADLIGHT = MOST DOWNROAD VISIBILITY: See all aspects of the road better with Sylvania's premium headlight bulbs, the Ultra Night Vision performance headlight. - WHITER LIGHT FOR ADDED CLARITY: Patented Tri-Band Technology helps provide the whitest H7 light compared to Sylvania OE bulbs.

Down road must mean seeing better down the road? I see better with these than ever before. I dont get flashed either. These are great. While I was at it I also put new blinker bulbs. I highly recommend these. I feel safer because they illuminate twice as good without bothering oncoming traffic **Q: Are these high beam for a bmw 745i 2005? will they fit with no added work or tools?** A: H7s are the proper high beams for your car, and they will fit into the factory housing. You may need certain tools to gain access (such as getting to the back of the headlight) but the bulb itself will fit without the need for fancy tools. **Q: I have an F30 bmw and I am wondering if replacing my headlight bulbs will result in a warning sign on my dash board?** A: If the originals are halogens, it will Not give any problems. I did the same with mu 2008 Mercedes ML63 **Q: My factory low beams are H7, but fitment says these won't work. Any known issues on a 2020 Mitsubishi outlander?** A: We are currently not showing fitment options for this vehicle. We suggest contacting Sylvania directly at 1-800-729-3777 for help in determining the correct light bulb for your needs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Not a "Whiter brighter Light" *by M***Y on 25 November 2024* I tried these bulbs on my 2012 MK6 Volkswagen Jetta.

They are definitely brighter and whiter than the stock ones. If they last as long (about 10 years), I would be extremely happy... If you have halogens, these seem to be one of the best you can buy. Updated: Only expect these bulbs to last about 12 months. I bought these bulbs on January 2024 and the first bulb failed July 2025 which was 18 months of daily use! Sylvania warranties these bulbs for 12 months or approximately 100 hours and we exceeded that. Unfortunately, this is the trade off for brighter, whiter halogen bulbs. The physics says it will drastically give you a shorter lifespan. I was hoping that LED bulb technology would get better for non projection halogen light assemblies, but they are not ready by the major manufacturers so these are the best you can get as of this review. I decided to give these bulbs another go since my wife and I like them. It took me about 15 minutes to change both low beam head light bulbs giving me one emergency spare should I lose a bulb on the road at night. ALWAYS wear gloves to prevent oil getting on the bulbs and they will hopefully last as long as possible. ## Frequently Bought Together - SYLVANIA - H7 SilverStar Ultra - High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, High Beam, Low Beam and Fog Replacement Bulb, Brightest Downroad with Whiter Light, Tri-Band Technology (Contains 2 Bulbs) - SYLVANIA - H11 SilverStar Ultra - High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, High Beam, Low Beam and Fog Replacement Bulb, Brightest Downroad with Whiter Light, Tri-Band Technology (Contains 2 Bulbs) - SYLVANIA 9005 SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, (Contains 2 Bulbs) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/259240499-sylvania-9003-silverstar-ultra-high-performance-halogen-headlight-bulb-high](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/259240499-sylvania-9003-silverstar-ultra-high-performance-halogen-headlight-bulb-high) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
