Did you know the 335 is apparently slower than watching paint dry...? Well, according to our resident genius on AZ.

Wow silverstars lasting 60k is great... they burn hotter so usually go out much quicker. i used to run those until i started doing projector retrofits instead.

That's 60k in 2.5 years. When I had my TL, I ran them in my fog lights and was probably replacing bulbs every 6-12 months. I always drove with my lights on just for looks back then.

Blah, I need to clean, start some laundry, meet the misses for lunch, then I'll probably go for a long bike ride. It's finally clear today. Getting tired of this rain
