Post silverFUSION vs Philips Silvervision

For those of you that have tried the Philips Silvervision bulbs or bulbs similar to it there is a new bulb that I have fell in love with (and I am not an employee of the company).

I was surfing the net for side marker lights like the Philips Silvervision lights and I came across <a href="http://www.silverFUSION.com" target="_blank">www.silverFUSION.com</a> and bought their side marker lights (W5W). The one thing I noticed immediately when I received the side marker lights is that the finish on the lights is much nicer than the Philips lights - it is like a mirror finish on the silverFUSION bulbs whereas the Philips bulbs definitely still has an orange tint.

I then got a pair of the silverFUSION lights (P21W - offset pin) to compare apples to apples and silverFUSION did not disappoint. The silverFUSION lights are definitely much nicer than the Philips lights. I didn't know how 'orange' still the Philips lights were until I compared them to the silverFUSION lights.

Check out the pics for the difference at webshots.com <a href="http://community.webshots.com/user/adjulian" target="_blank">silverFUSION pics</a> . Notice that the Philips lights still have an orange tint while the silverFUSION lights do not have the tint. I am definitely sold on these lights. And to top it all off - their customer service was out of this world. I had the lights within 3-4 days delivered from the UK.

If anyone is interested let me know and I will try to get a group buy together and see if we can get a better price on the lights.

Go check them out at <a href="http://www.silverfusion.com." target="_blank">www.silverfusion.com.</a>

Do you have any pictures of the bulbs. I would most of all like to see the side marker bulb. Is there anything of the bulbs or packaging to tell you who makes them, as the turn signal bulbs on the site sure looks like the Philips bulbs. <a href="http://forum.boxa.net/index.php?act=ST&f=13&t=1802&s=" target="_blank">http://forum.boxa.net/index.php?act=ST&f=13&t=1802&s=</a>

Check out the pics at my webshots page, here is the link.<a href="http://community.webshots.com/user/adjulian" target="_blank">Pictures of silverFUSION bulbs</a>

I will post pics of my side marker lights tonite. But if you visit <a href="http://www.silverfusion.com" target="_blank">www.silverfusion.com</a> the side marker lights are shown. That is exactly how they look.

The silverFUSION lights are much nicer than the Philips lights. They are not made by Philips as the coating, from what I understand, is propietary to silverFUSION and definitely shows.

The pics that I took really show the difference.

I uploaded the pics of the silverFUSION side markers on webshots.com. Use this URL <a href="http://community.webshots.com/user/adjulian" target="_blank">http://community.webshots.com/user/adjulian</a> to see the pics.

The finish on the silverFUSION bulbs is much better than the Philips bulbs. I didn't realize how 'orange' the silvervision bulbs were until I had them side by side with the silverFUSION bulbs.

The silverFUSION bulbs are only available directly through their website at <a href="http://www.silverfusion.com." target="_blank">www.silverfusion.com.</a> They were very fast in getting the bulbs to me considering they were coming from the UK.
