Yeah those Eurolights and bulbs on eBay usually have a 80 watt rating (100 watt for high beam) and all they do is cook the hardness. With an Alero, you have to replace the entire headlight which is about $300 for one from the dealer ($100 on eBay)

Stay with the stock wattage 55 watts for lowbeams and 65 watts for highbeams and you'll be good. I have the Silverstars too, for almost 2 years now, and they are fine. I also got the Silverstar turn signal bulbs. They look blue but light up orange, so they keep you nice and legal :thumbsup:

Also, don't go with those cheap hardness extensions that CLAIM to prevent frying your hardness from using high wattage bulbs. I don't see how they work.

Ask your friends that say Eurolights are the best, "How much Horsepower you get from them" If they say anything other than 0, don't listen to them

LMAO...only a Ricer would say Sylvania Silverstar's suck. That's a gag! I can't stop laughing! You need to stop talkin to those dumbasses! Keep this in mind: A fart-can and a jumbo jet wing does NOT make your car faster so if any of them have either of those things on their cars, they don't know crap!

Definitly go w/ Sylvania Silverstars, hands down the best bulbs you can get w/o goin HID

P.S. I, personally, have melted a wire harness from 80w bulbs on my Alero <_<

im gonna have to ask u guys exactly what to get wehn i get paid next week for my lights....cuz i wanna make sure i get the right wattage AND the right look

02-10-2005, 01:24 PM

Thanks 1whiteosv!! ill be hitting u up one mroe then one occasion im sure. ull be sick of me by the end of it all :P
im new to this whole car thing and trying to learn how to do it RIGHT....cuz clearly the morons that live in thsi city are just that....morons...(i always knew they were f***ing stupid...but i didnt think they were THAT dumb...cuz some of them do have nice cars...just not to my liking)

02-10-2005, 01:25 PM

depends how "crafty" you are....I fried my harness...the dealership will tell you that you have to replace the WHOLE thing (about $200/light) but I just pulled mine apart and soldered on new wire and everything was fine. If it comes to that I, or someone, could post a how-to (if it isnt done already)

02-10-2005, 01:28 PM

well, i havent taken the bulb out. cuz honestly, i didnt think anything of it. my ex assured me he was going to fix it and it'd be fine...lies lies lies lies. :P
so should i go home and take the bulb out?
and me fix something wire wise? i dunno man...imma girl who is JUST learning light info....i dunno if i could fix something on my own and have it function afterwards :P

Redog · 02-10-2005, 01:31 PM

Get the new bulb first then take the old one out

Be sure not to touch the glass on the bulbs. Natural oils on human skin will cause the bulb to fail quicker

johny_boy32 · 02-10-2005, 01:40 PM

what he said...and i sent a you a pm alero04 on where to get the different gauges. If you need anything else feel free to ask.

FormulaNERD · 02-10-2005, 01:43 PM

usually by "fail quicker" you mean nearly explode! lol.

at work we were changing these bulbs for these really bright lights at a security post, well nobody told us to clean the bulbs after touching them.... turned them on and boom... boom boom... it was actually pretty sweet.

02-10-2005, 01:46 PM

so, im to get the sylvania ones....do they have them for the blinker light too? cuz i hate that orange.....i have the euro's for my blinker now and i am NOT going back to the orange/...YUCK

FormulaNERD · 02-10-2005, 01:51 PM

they have some that appear to be blue on the outside, but at night they actually light up LEGALLY with orange. you can get those but if you want to risk getting pulled over (probably not a problem since you have euros now) you could just keep the euros, they should be the same wattage as stock, and not cause any problems. i run the blue euros with no problem...

Redog · 02-10-2005, 01:53 PM

Yeah I got mine at a car store in Central New Jersey but I've seen them at Walmart too.

02-10-2005, 02:00 PM
