Review: Great performance - First of all, if you're looking for HID performance out of a halogen bulb... stop looking. Not going to happen. If you want HID, either get an HID upgrade kit for $1,000+ or buy a car that has them already. This light is significantly whiter than standard headlights. It's actually a different color temperature, which moves the light color from a yellowish-white to closer to blueish-white. They are NOT blue. The bulb coloring is blue, but that's just designed to change the color temperature. They do not look blue when you look at the lights, nor do they look blue when they shine on a white surface. They're not actually any brighter, but with our eyes being better adjusted to this color light, it makes it seem like they're brighter and shine farther. I bought a complete set of the SilverStar zXe's (Headlights, High-beams, Fogs) because on my car, changing a light bulb is a full-day job (you get to remove the entire front bumper assembly), so I really didn't want to do that more than once. All of the lights match colors well, and all are much better than stock. Definitely not HID quality... but also not $250 a set either. Bottom line, buy these to get a much whiter headlight, and thus a bit more perceived visibility. Don't buy these if you think they are HID, or close. They're not. But they do what they're supposed to, and they're great at it.
Review: 2014 Honda Civic EX Coupe DRL/High Beams - Replaced the stock Sylvania EcoBright 9005/HB3 12V 60W headlight bulbs with these. The stock EcoBright bulbs are 60W because they are 'energy efficient,' but a standard 9005/HB3 bulb is 65W. These will run hotter than the stock, for that reason, and will probably not last as long, but they are worth it for the added visibility. I just followed the instructions in the Owner's Manual to replace the lamps. The Honda Civic uses the high beam as a daytime running lamp (DRL). As others have stated, when running as a DRL, the light is the same, yellowish light as the stock bulb; however, when used as a high beam, the light is clear white and noticeably brighter than the stock high beam. The color temperature of the light is perfect; it's a bright white, which makes the car look very modern, but it's not blue like high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, of which I am personally not a fan. Bottom line: much better visibility, modern looking light, still legal when used in the stock headlight housing

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I believe the answer is yes but I figured I would ask anyway. I have 9005 bulbs that work as my high and low beams. The item title says "high beam". So can I use them as a high and low beam bulb?**
A: It works for a low beam too.  If the car calls for one and it's the 9005, it probably has an actuator that projects the beam low or high.  I.E.  a Mercury Milan or Ford Fusion would fall in that category.  Here's a Youtube video where a guy talks about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltyyUBV7258

**Q: Will these 9005 fit a h9 wire harness?**
A: Yes but you will have to modify the base of the bulb, the tabs that lock it in place are a bit off.  Very simply if you are minorly mechanically inclined.

**Q: Will this fit 2007 lexus rx350 ?**
A: Yes, the 9005 (HB3) SilverStar zXe fits the 2007 Lexus RX350 in the high beam position.

**Q: My 2017 honda civic calls for HB3 bulbs. Will the 9005 replace them?**
A: Yes the should work fine. HB3 are cross reference for 9005 bulbs

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!
*by J***R on March 22, 2017*

Love these lights on my 2015 Explorer.. They are nice and bright, but! they are not "really" white. I measured them with my light meter and they are 4200K. And that is the ONLY reason I gave them 4 stars. They would have gotten 5 is they managed to put out 5500 or 6000k (actual daylight). That being said, I highly recommend them. They give you the white you need with no mess of wires, resistors or ballasts involved, and a factory look to boot. By the way, OEM were putting out 3200k, so nice improvement.
