Wagner Lighting D2S Head Lamp Sealed Beam Review

The Wagner D2S Xenon headlamp is actually made by and badged Philips, which is the OEM lamp supplier for BMWs and many other European car brands. The OEM Philips xenons in my 2001 BMW X5 lasted over 10 years as I expect these to do as well. Most NAPA stores carry the Wagner lamp and actually sell it for $10 less than the Amazon price. Of course, if a NAPA store is not convenient to your location, Amazon is only slightly more expensive.
My BMW service advisor told me to replace both lamps after the first one failed in order to have the same light output on the left and the right sides. Xenons do dim somewhat over yeras of use and a matched pair not only looks better, but is moderately brighter than a new one on one side and an old one on the other. On my X5 it was necessary to remove three Torx 15 screws holding the lamp cover on the rear of the headlight assembly in order to access the lamp. Once the housing is pulled back, the high voltage cable comes off with a quarter twist as does the locking ring holding the lamp in place. It took me less than 15 minutes to change each one.
I also had a mobile serviceman come to my house to polish the X5's two front headlight assemblies which had become quite hazey over the years. It cost about $125, but both of them look and feel brand new. With the new Xenon lamps installed, the headlights are literally back to new condition even though the car has almost 170K miles on it.

Sylvania H11 ST BP SilverStar Headlight Review

Sylvania H11 ST BP  SilverStar Headlight

I own 2 Aprilia Scarabeo motor scooters, and have found that this headlights bulb is essential for daytime visibility and safety, as well as superior night time road illumination. I would not be without these bulbs. I would also recommend these for cars that do not already have HID lights. This is a fantastic, high quality product.

Sylvania SilverStar 55-Watt High Performance Halogen Headlight is fashioned for brighter and whiter light. This operates with internal gas pressure which significantly reduces the rate of tungsten evaporation. Its analogous non-halogen incandescent lamp operates the same filament temperature with greater luminance and efficiency. This combined effect of higher pressure and the halogen cycle give halogen lamp much longer life.

For me anyway in a BMW 5-series, they only last about 6-9 months. The previous review mentions nothing about the actual product, so I thought I'd chime in.

The bulb came in the package you see in the listing but the package was crumpled and the grey coating on the end of the bulb was worn off onto the inside plastic package in two spots. bulb works and I guess I'll keep it cause of hassle factor, sure hope its not blinding oncoming traffic (I have no idea what the effect of the worn spots is). This item should not be sold as new given the condition of the packaging.

GE NIGHTHAWK H7-55NHP/BP2 Platinum Replacement Bulb, Pack of 2 Review

I picked these up in Canada but it looks like they are now available in the US from Amazon. I was a bit skeptical because I have been trying to find a replacement bulb that replicates or comes close to HID Xenon for my '04 Touareg (I neglected to tick that option box when I bought it). Finally after trying three different brands and styles I have found the winner. I compared the HID lighting in my Audi to the Nighthawk Platinum and one would be hard pressed to tell the difference. It's also very noticeable in nighttime driving, I can see much better on the back country roads and it has given me more confidence when I do have to be out in the dark. A great product that's worth the $.
Just keep in mind that when it comes to halogen bulbs the brighter they are, the hotter they burn and the quicker they burn out. If you have daytime running lights that utilize your headlamps don't expect to get much more than a year out of these (or any similar product such as the Silverstar). If you're looking for longevity then stick with a much dimmer long life bulb.

Drive with Confidence Despite the fact that traffic levels generally drop at night, the fact remains that year after year nearly half of the total accidents that occur on U.S. roads and highways take place at night. Wherever these nighttime accidents occur, one factor is always the possibility of compromised and even poor road lighting conditions. This is why every motorist should consider GE's Nighthawk Platinum series of auto halogen replacement bulbs.

Very bright but short lived.
I installed a set in my 2002 Honda CRV. One burned out in about 4 months and I don't have running lights. A call to Sylvania customer service gave a offer to send a new set if I returned the burnt out bulb with the sales reciept. OK thats nice, 2 for 1. Very generious,however the second set did not last any longer. Another call to C.S. This time the rep. was more helpfull or should I say truthful. I was informed that some makes of vechiles such as Honda and BMW, as well as other forgien makes run as high as 15 volts to the headlights causing premature failure of the Silver Star and Silver Star Ultra bulbs. Therefore Sylvania does not recomend them for these cars. Now they tell me.
I have had a set in my Chrysler T&C van for over 2 years. No problem.
Check with your dealer if your car is not US and save yourself money and aggravation.
