Okay, so i'm interested in getting silverstars for my gen3 sable. And does anyone know if this silverstars really work? and are they worth it?

I don't have any personally, but I've seen some cars with them and they look great. Several people on here have them, as well. I've heard nothing but good things about them. They are the closest thing to getting HID (uber-expensive). I plan on getting some for Christmas

(odd gift, I know).

ya but i guess, they need a heavy duty harness.

I have the Silverstars and I love them!

They do NOT require a new wiring harness, as they are the same wattage as the factory bulbs. You can certainly install a heavy duty wiring harness in addition (lower resistance, so there would be more current flowing through the bulbs). Remember, though, that the Silverstars do not require any more power than the factory bulbs....

The Silverstars are much whiter than the standard bulbs. I compare it to a flourescent bulb versus a standard bulb in a household fixture.

These is also a thread in the archives called, I think, "bright white lights" where we beat this topic to death a few weeks ago...

I hope this helps!!

There are about 20 threads on this in the archives.

In a nutshell, yes they work great. Best stock-wattage bulb you can get IMO. You don't need the heavy duty harness when you switch to Silverstars (same current draw) but with the upgraded harness, it is an even better improvement. Every Gen3 owner should get the heavy duty harness, even with the stock bulbs. The stock harness is pathetic.

Is it possible to get those for my Sable light bar?

They don't make Silverstars small enough. I think they make super white 194 or 168 bulbs.

Quick question, do you have to remove the entire headlight assembly to install the bulb or is their a twist and pull hole that the bulb goes right into?

 

[sundarpn]

Gen 3 u have to remove the headlight. its pretty simple. 10 min job

 

[slider5634]

For the gII sable light bar. It's twist and pull.

Ford did something right!!! J/K

I have them and love them. In combination with my fog lights I can see just dandy is just about any weather, even at night.

Did it yesterday on a GEN IV

One bolt and two long pull clips one each light.

Pull assy off car and then twist a big round socket then unclip old headlight

installation is opposite of this

I installed one and turned on my lights I could not believe the difference in them.

Part number is 9007

I have them in the 97, and as soon as the 91 is up and running, I have a set to install in that too. They're great bulbs, I love them in the 97. As far as removing the headlight to install, I didn't have to do that in any of the Gen's I've owned. (1,2 or 3).

Twist and pull for the Gen II Taurus, as well.

Bob...you have smaller hands than I... it's a lot easier if you take the whole assembley out, saves the ol' knuckles

I lost a headlight bulb today actually, and I had to take the whole stupid light out to get the bulb changed. <_<

 

[sundarpn]

wow, u guys change the bulb, without removing the headlight out...
one should have really small hands...
