PIAA or Silverstar replacement bulb

Post by chancerbeans13 »

Has anyone tried the PIAA 35w replacement? How does it compare to the Silverstar?

nah he actually installed an HID setup on his Rattler.

Is that the bulb the Rattler uses (HS1?) Does Sylvania make a Silverstar in that size?

Hope, no Silverstar HS1. A HS1 is basically a 35W H4 bulb (a slight difference to the base of the bulb). That's why so many people stuff the Silverstar H4 in there. The HS1 is getting pretty common for ATVs etc because it will draw fewer amps and still provide some good light. 35W is about the same as a OEM foglight on a car. I'm sure there are going to be some more companies bringing their HS1s over here PIAA was just the first.
