How did you like the Sylvania? I am looking at the Silver Star Ultra as an option. I just truly don't like the yellow color of the OEM. Did you see much improvement? Thanks
The Sylvania’s are an improvement, for sure. Definitely not as good as an LED. But I’m okay with them. I wish I could just toss in any ole LED bulb with a resistor pack like the old days. I got a 2009 Harley that I did that with. Every light , except the head light, has an LED bulb and the LEDs are still going good 15 years later.

@Gladiatorx2 Quoting a couple of my posts from other threads...
Swapped out my headlight bulbs for a set of Sylvania Silverstar Ultras H13.

Low beam, passenger new, driver OE. Passenger was a royal pain, I have a diesel. After much fiddling around I managed to get the cap out of the way.

Highbeam, pass new, driver OE again.
The wall is the same color all the way acrossed.
The driver side was cake, just pull the airbox out of the way.
This last weekend I drove my wife's Wrangler twice after dark. Once in the rain and once in decent weather. Both times I was thinking to myself that it seemed kinda dark out. Monday morning in the dark on the way to work in my Gladiator I decided that the replacement headlight bulbs I put in were definitely brighter. I will be buying a set for her Wrangler before long.
I live in snow country so I wanted to stay halogen to keep the headlights from icing up. These seem to work good for me.

Thank you for the pictures. I had the OEM LED PACKAGE on the Rubicon and the difference was...night and day. The light output is not the key issue. The yellow color of the Halogen's that are OEM is my issue. It looks like the Silver Star Ultra has a much better color as well as improvement in lighting down the road. I think that I will get those to try. It looks like the price on Amazon is $20.00 than local parts store. Thanks again
