Re: burnt headlight plugs

my vote is for Sylvannia(sp?) Silverstars...I think they are like 4100k or some ridiculously high intensity but run on stock wattage. very nice light IMO and won't burn harnesses!

Go with the Silverstars! They're definetly worth the money, unless you wanna pay the much extra and go HID? But, personally, I think the Silverstars do the job for me?

Lots of people talk about thier lights being burned out. I was wondering, what's the "life/hours" expectancy of PiAA H4s? I just got some and they are nice, but if they dont last.. might have been a bad investment...

Those'll prolly last you a good time! PIAA are probably one of the best companies for lights that you can buy right now other than HID's!
