Headlamps

The operator's manual calls out an H7U headlamp. Does it use the same bulb in all four ? (Hi and Lo beam) ?

Just called Sylvania/Osram and they say the SilverStar Ulras meet the German "U" standard..

Re: Headlamps

Same bulb for all 4.
Any H7 will work, don't know about the yellowing, if you are referring to the headlight covers, then that is caused by the sun's UV.

Apparently the "U" is a special coating to prevent yellowing of plastic reflectors Does anyone know if the Sylvania/Osram Silverstar Ultra has this coating ?

Thank you,.

They are the same high and lows. I think the U is basically universal, especially the name brands.

Search for forum users history with Silver Stars, it is not too bright, I guess that's a pun.
