[s-cars] Sylvania Silverstars

[LL - NY]

There is a GB on the www.saab92x.com <http://www.saab92x.com> forum on an AM
conversion. Haven't checked
into whether or not they have 9006 conversions yet. The DO have H1's and the
price is
reasonable. Due to the projector optics and commonality of the 9006 bulbs,
I'd expect
that there would be great success for the HID conversion. I just don't have
the scratch
to do it, and I'm pretty happy (for the moment) with the HIR's.
