  7. See Better This Winter with SYLVANIA SilverStar® ULTRA Headlights

See Better This Winter with SYLVANIA SilverStar® ULTRA Headlights

Winter driving in Canada can be a nightmare if your car isn’t properly equipped. White-out conditions during heavy snow can make it downright impossible to see two feet in front of you. Even on a relatively clear night, those wet roads from melting snow cast reflections that make the road darker than usual. Bottom line, without good headlights, you’re driving blind.

The first time I drove at night, it took me an entire hour to go ten minutes away! It was a dark and snowy night. Sound like the beginning of a horror movie? To me, it was! Trust me, I was terrified! My headlights were far from appropriate.

Prepping your vehicle for harsh winters is a must here in Canada. There’s no way around it. That time is coming fast, my friends! I took my first big step by installing SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights.

See What’s Ahead with SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights

I love the SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights! I can see so much better. My street only has one small dim light. Look at how my SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights lights up the road!

SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights are “Plug and Play” orientation, which means they’re no harder to install than standard halogen lightbulbs.

Here’s a neat fact about the SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights: they have a colour temperature of 4100K, which is about the same as natural noon daylight! That means they really illuminate the road, even in the scariest Canada winter conditions. To give you an idea of how they work, I took a “before” and “after” picture of my garage door. This is before my SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights:

As you can see, they illuminate a thin strip of my garage, and not very brightly at that. Now check out my “after” picture:

Go ahead and play “spot the differences,” I’ll wait! Seriously, in the first picture, you can’t even see the bottom of the garage, let alone all the leaves on the ground.

Winter driving tips

Along with installing SYLVANIA’s SilverStar® ULTRA headlights, we have a couple more winter driving tips for you, courtesy of SYLVANIA.

  • Don’t skimp on winter tires, they give you more stability and control when breaking in harsh conditions.
  • Keep your gas tank at least half-full to add a bit of weight and traction when driving on slippery roads.
  • Stay alert and avoid distractions. While you should NEVER talk on your cell or text when driving, it is especially dangerous in the winter.

Keep your family safe this winter by prepping your vehicle and using good driving habits. Visit SYLVANIA to find out how you can see better this winter. Follow SYLVANIA on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with news and great driving tips.

    I remember in college driving from Allendale, MI to Chicago was a nightmare. The roads are dark and lonely. Having a set of dependable headlights is always encouraged, especially for young women on the highway alone!

    Ah, the joys of Canadian driving.
    Toss in the time change and suddenly night just came that much earlier.
    Will have to pick up a pair of these asap!
    We are out a lot when it’s dark…seeing isn’t optional.

    I do agree that headlights can make all the difference. We need to clean ours and replace the bulbs. Thanks for the reminder.

    My husband and I were just discussing out Jeep’s headlights the other day. I think it’s about time to replace them. So this came at a great time!

    I live in northern New England and we have some of that terrible winter weather! Glad to have the reminder to be sure to winterize my car. Headlights are not something I had thought about!

  19. Cathy Herard says

    Wow! These sound really great. We have similar weather conditions here in Maine (along with many deer in the roadways), so I might just have to get my husband to take a look at these!

    I recently attended a winter driving event that focused on winter tires and I was amazed at the difference vs all-season tires. I never considered that headlights are also a major factor in being prepared. Thank you for the heads-up.

    These show a significant different in brightness. Great for the upcoming winter and darker hours.
