I will NEVER, repeat NEVER spend the cash on Silverstars again. They would last, on average, 10 months in my Mazda. No DRL either. Supposedly there's a one-year warranty on them, but I never went to the trouble of digging up a receipt. I think it was around $50 for a set, and while I liked the color of light they put out, there's no way I will ever shell out that kinda cash when there are better, longer-lasting products out there.

I`ll be back....
Talking about EURO Lights.........thats just a a word for better sales in the case of the cheapos from ebay, bet your scalp that they are chinese.
If they are real EURO lights they do have a E-Number on the glass.
Each car lamp that was made in europe has these numbers on it.
Just saying..........

I think Euro is just a reference to style.....I see how it could be misconstrued however.....Still a nice updated look for a tired looking lamp....

glass lens with replacable bulbs. link in the first post should still work.
Cool pics....Do they look nice lit at night?
I just installed these lights....As said you can't beat the price. The lenses are glass and the back is a very thick plastic. The lights are very bright and are easy to replace, just pull up the hold down spring and out it comes.

You guys can form a line for putting a foot up my arse for spending money on these.....
Their are lugs on the back of round lights that mate with depressions on the light assy....
These Chinese lights have the lugs in the wrong place so you either grind the lugs down or you just jam them in where they cock to one side or the other.....
I took out the cheesy blue lights....One blue light was a different blue than the other blue light...
The bulb won't stay in the part thats supposed to hold it very tightly....
Other than that I liked them okay......lol
I like the updated look (minus the blue light which you could easily change to amber, green, red, orange)
The front of the glass lens is flat, not domed like a nice Sylvania bulb.....It makes the front look a little flat imo....
Anyone know if the Roundeye Lights are flat as well?
Of Course the price is right and for the money they give an updated look IF the bulb will stay centered and in....
I'd have to worry every bump I go over so I'll spend money on the quality upgrade and my OCD will be in check...

Pull them, and throw them away unless you can come up with a way to secure the connections!
You know they will come off in a sharp down hill curve with a 500 foot drop off and a van load of nuns on your side of the road!
Oh yeah: THIS POST IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!!!

In all fairness, I went back and double checked that I bought the same ones as the OP....I did.....maybe we just got something different....Mine were like a kit for a kid that puts his own light together....without glue....
When I take them out I'll take pics of what I'm talking about.....
Yes, they are a flatter look than oem.
Even though the price is higher, Roundeyes is a huge supporter of the Rubicon Trail Foundation and Friends of the Rubicon. Probably other organizations as well.
