Instead of regulating HIDs, why don't they regulate SUV headlamp height? Have you ever had an H2 parked behind you at a light?

So what I'm wondering is where do I get a set or two of the HID bulbs as just in case backups?

Thanks

What is the difference visually between the Silverstars and the Catz HID's anyways?

The Catz HID is about 3 times as bright and will be more white/blue. There is no way to replicate the output of HID on a halogen bulb... it's just impossible.

Eric, I'm not sure what happened - I ordered a pair of the Sylvania Silverstar H1 70 watt bulbs from you and today I received a pair of H7 "luks" bulbs. Not only are they not Sylvania's, they are not even the right size. I hope you will fix this.

Sorry to here about the problems on your side of the pond - anyone in UK had any problems? My 993 was MOT'd last month and the guy did notice they were HID and just said "great lamps". I should add these are not Litronic but the CATZ type.

JHoffman,

I will get you the H1, but Sylvania does NOT make a 70W version.

I thought I stressed that in this thread, but apparently I stressed it in the other thread on bulbs... if you wish to have a refund, I don't have a problem with that. But you need to let me know if you still want them or not. If so, I'll get those H1s out to you.
