What's a silverstar bulb? Not being an American, I've never heard of it. Can you explain what it is, then I might be able to find one under another name, here. Anything that gives better visibility has got to be a good thing. :2tup:
Alantf, the SilverStar is made by Sylvania. The SS bulbs available in Europe are actually a bit better than the ones we get here. They do not draw anymore wattage but they make better use of it.
I put them in my last 3 cages and the Vstrom has been equiped since 2006 with nary a problem. Lynda's GZ did kill one with vibration I would guess but it was an improvement over OEM. Her M-50 had a SS installed a month after she got it. I think they are well worth the price.
PIAA makes a vibration proof bulb that is very bright but the price is a heart stopper.
