update on h13 silverstars
hey my girl fround this on the 06 mustang forum
Here is a reply I received from Sylvania re: Silverstar's in H13:
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your inquiry. Part H13, also known as 9008, is not currently available in a SilverStar upgrade. We have received many requests for this part in a SilverStar upgrade, but we were unable to develop this part in a SilverStar until just recently. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wrote into the original specification for this part that the glass capsule portion of the lamp must remain a clear quartz glass. Part of upgrading a part to SilverStar is coating the capsule with an amethyst colored enamel. NHTSA had specified that we could not do that to this part. We appealed this standard through NHTSA, resulting in a change in the wording, allowing us to finally offer a SilverStar upgrade for this part, but this part is still under development. We are hoping to launch this part sometime in the late fall to early winter timeframe.
so those of you that want them will hopefully be able to get them

I e-mailed them again and got this reply:
Good Morning Mr. Darst,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your inquiry. Part
H13ST has not yet been released. We have received many requests for this
part in a SilverStar upgrade, but we were unable to begin developing
this part in a SilverStar upgrade until just recently. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wrote into the original
specification for this part that the glass capsule portion of the lamp
must remain a clear quartz glass. Part of upgrading a part to SilverStar
is coating the capsule with an amethyst colored enamel. NHTSA had
specified that we could not do that to this part. We appealed this
standard through NHTSA, resulting in a change in the wording, allowing
us to finally offer a SilverStar upgrade for this part, but this part is
still under development. We are hoping to launch this part sometime in
the late fall to early winter timeframe. Shortly after the release of
this part, you should be able to find it at most large auto parts
stores. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any
other questions or require further assistance.
Sincerely,
Heather Kennett

i ran the silverstars in my ranger and absolutely loved them. Since they don't make them in the H13, (yet) i threw in the Sylvania Xtravision, and can't believe how incredibly bright they are. I may cave for the silverstars, but for now, the xtravision do the trick
(without spending the $$$ on the HID conversion)
