My beer fridge is in
O I C so its kind of like wiring in an amp for a sub. you use the power from the battery and use the power going to the original bulbs to turn on the ballasts and new bulbs? Sound about right. It also looks like they have their own fuse inline for the power correct?

^ no... but i installed a 20AMP fuse (removed the OEM 10AMP) from each side (driver and passenger) and now everything is good 
at first, i only replaced the driver side, and that fog always worked.... today, i replaced the pass. side, and now that fog is good too... ill update if anything changes
FYI-- the 4G TL takes a new smaller type of mini-fuse... cant buy it auto-barn or pep-boys... i had to go to the dealership to get it.... $2.13 a fuse!! i bought a few spares just in case

Any way to replace the D2S's without pulling the bumper? I see 2 10mm bolts on top for the housing, but something else is holding the housing in and I'm assuming there is another bolt or 2 behind the bumper.
Thanks!

All the Silverstar draw high power, which is why they tend to burn out faster than regular incandescent. There's no way to avoid it.

There's also an old law saying you cannot have more than four lamps [sic] lit at the same time for forward illumination.

There's an old state law in Virginia that says that your lights used for forward illumination must be white, except for fog lights which can be yellow.

How about the head light, fog lights and parking/signal lights...those can be all on at the same time which makes it 6..although I am in Calif..and plus my parking lights are only on when I signal...I used electric tape to cover the parking lights contact.
I was wondering...would you happen to know where the brake light bulb are located. I opened up the tail light housing and saw only 3 bulbs....Side Marker, Reverse light bulb and Signal light bulb. The owners manual also showed 3 bulbs....where the heck is the Brake Light bulb??
