Reflector Runner-Up

The SilverStar Ultra sits just behind the Night Breaker 200 among normal-wattage reflector picks, but it remains a strong practical choice because it is easy to find and has a whiter beam appearance than many basic halogen bulbs.

A matching bulb size identifies fitment; it does not by itself prove optical compatibility or make a conversion a vehicle-specific recommendation.

Technical details and sources

Fitment, factory-system research, and BulbFacts product tests remain separate evidence. A matching bulb size does not by itself make a conversion a vehicle-specific recommendation.

Each model year opens its own BulbFacts record. Bulb sizes and factory systems are not carried over from adjacent years.

Fitment note: Verify the installed bulb, connector, housing, and factory system before ordering. A bulb-size match is not automatically a conversion recommendation or proof of vehicle-specific testing.
