mrmkesdeuce Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Want to upgrade the headlight on my wife's '11 Escape for a whiter look. Has anyone heard about the Sylvania ZXE Gold bulbs. They claim a much brighter light, but cost about $65.00. Anybody have any input on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Buy them from Amazon and if you don't like them, return them...I have used "Silverstars" in the past with very satisfactory results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmkesdeuce Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 I ran the gamut. I started with Silverstars, then went to Silverstar Ultras. Next were the ZXE's. I just tried the ZXE Golds, and was very disappointed. They looked the same to me as the cheaper ZXE's. The old ZXE's were over 2 years old, so I'll keep the ZXE Gold bulbs. In my opinion the ZXE's were the best of the four, but none of them gave me the "white" look I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read, the only difference between the ZXE and ZXE Gold is the fact the the ZXE Gold has a gold tip that was put there for a better "in-light bezel" look and not increased performance.

That and about a $15.00 price difference! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
