'05 Camry Headlight question

[Camry1999]

hey guys...i jus bought the Silvania SilverStar headlight bulbs...they r 12 volts, 55 watts...but it's seems like it's harder 2 start the car now, i only have 23k miles, it's just harder 2 start, nothing else, i need a oil change, but i don't think that's it, i'm thinking it's b/c of the lights...it's 9006 ST/2 one...when i go 2 start it, it cranks over fine, but there is a pause & then it starts...idk if that normal...does anyone know about this...i'm open for opinions, suggestions...

Does it only do it when the lights are on? I highly doubt its because of the light bulbs.

If it does it when the lights are off, then it has nothing to do with the bulbs. Sometimes if you start the car a few times only for short periods, the next time it will hesitate a bit before it actually turns over.

99.9% sure it has nothing whatsoever to do with your bulbs.. i have SS 9005 bulbs that are rated at 65W in my low beams and theres no problem.. unlike HID's, which draw a lot of power when they first start up, halogen bulbs do not..

yes...i just changed the oil & now it seems 2 start fine now...i had just bout 5k miles from the last oil change...even though i'm putting sythetic in there, the lights r fine, they really look nice...i'm gonna take some pix & post them when i get a chance i have some pix from b4...so i guess i will just show both...
