Sylvania 9007XV for '98 Grand Caravan

So...go out and get some locally. Any Sylvania stockist should carry them. I've spotted them at Pep Boys, Checker, Schuck's, Kragen, Autoworks, Sears AutoCare Centers, Canadian Tire...

Don't let the schlub behind the counter push Sylvania SilverStars or Wagner TruViews on you. Insist on the Xtravisions. They won't make your rotten headlamps into good ones, but they are the best you can get.

There's a $6 rebate on any pair of Silverstars, CoolBlues, or XtraVisions. Found that out last week when I took Daniel's advice and went to buy a pair of XtraVisions (for my Concorde). He's right - the counter guy tried to talk me into the SilverStars - said they were so much "whiter" and that's why they are so much better (deja vu all over again). But he also handed me the rebate coupon (which I won't use because I don't need any more spam or junk snail mail (you have to provide e-mail address and of course post office address on the coupon).

Rebate's good until 3/31/04 if anyone's interested though. I don't know if these are only good at Advance AP - their logo is all over the coupon and built into the address (but maybe that's just for tracking purposes and other retailers have similar coupons with the same P.O. box in Phoenix?).

Good suggestion, unfortunately, the local shops are mere "retailers", not "stockists". As a result, they stock "kewl" Silverstars and HID-alikes, not pedestrian Xtravisions.

Although my 2004's mini-van's lights are vastly superior to the ones on my

Richard.

Xtravisions won't make your bad headlamps into good ones, but they are the best you can get.

Just as well. HID "retrofits" are illegal and dangerous. Definitely not very "nice".

I just bought a set at Canadian Tire - will let you know my $0.02 shortly

Unless they are the ones from Vmaxx.
