SYLVANIA Headlight 2.0 iPhone App: Find Replacement Bulbs at the Speed of Light

HILLSBORO, N.H., Dec. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you want to find replacement headlight bulbs faster than you can say SYLVANIA? Then, download the new SYLVANIA iPhone app, Headlight 2.0.

The world leader in automotive lighting solutions launched an enhanced version of its free SYLVANIA iPhone app that allows users to quickly find the correct replacement number for their vehicle's headlights, taillights, signal lighting and dome lighting through an easy and interactive experience. This is an ideal reference app for automotive lighting installers, independent mechanics, independent repair or inspection facilities, small shop owners and do-it-yourself consumers.

"Headlight 2.0 now houses 58 years worth of parts data, so virtually all installers, mechanics and consumers can use the app to find their replacement bulbs. No more thumbing through the 4-inch thick parts catalog," said Joe Verbanic, Marketing Manager for SYLVANIA Automotive Lighting.

In addition to providing replacement part numbers, SYLVANIA Headlight 2.0 also contains product photos and descriptions, allowing users to make a more informed decision about the type of lighting needed to ensure the best driving visibility. Users can even contact SYLVANIA customer service via email with the click of a button, or connect directly to the SYLVANIA website.

The app, an upgrade from SYLVANIA Headlight 1.0, allows users to select the make, model and year of their vehicle to quickly see a detailed listing of all the replacement bulbs available. Developed by Fastrak Retail, LLC, the reference app features a cleaner look, increased response time and OS4 technology so that multiple apps can run at once.

Since the app's data is housed on the phone, it works without internet access or cell phone reception. However, internet connectivity is needed to email customer service or access additional product information through the SYLVANIA website, www.sylvania.com/auto.

SYLVANIA's new app is one of only a handful of reference apps specific to the automotive category. Headlight 2.0 is currently available for the iPhone 4G, 3GS, 3G, iTouch and iPad. To download the app, go to iTunes.
