Silverstars suck my ass

This is true, 4th one just blew out on me.

I had a set when i got the car, those went out the same exact time in winter.

My other one went out a few days ago and tonight the other side went out.

Silverstars

anybody got some GOOD 55w headlight bulbs they recommend?

If not i might just go HID n say screw this halogen crap

well high beams arent gonna blow out because you never dirve with em on as much as reg headlights are used.


Im talking right now to george about the HID's, I might actually be helping him promote these if they are good enough.

dont touch the bulb with your fingers, that causes them to blow on you due to crap that builds up from the heat....

Wear rubber gloves when you install them, otherwise if they come in contact with the flesh of your fingers they'll blow. + - =

I'd be really interested if/when you come up with a good one. Maybe a group buy?

I can talk to him about a group buy, but for $250 your already getting a steal for HID's, most kits are $500 for a 9006 conversion.
