Re: silver stars
Forget those high wattage bulbs. They just hurt your pocket and your car. They typically don't put potting compound around the base of the prongs on the bulb which in turn heats up and blows the bulb. Forget them. Spend the extra $ and get PIAA. I have had my Platinums SW's for 3 years and they are still kicking.

Autozone is about $22-24 each for Silver Stars so you'll be spending a little over fifty or so with tax. I've had my Silver Stars in for about 6 months and they are the best. No ricer blue tint, no exploded/melted bulbs and harnesses, plus it's a huge improvement over the stock or most other bulbs IMO.

Sylvania's a good brand/comapny. they been in the lighting industry for years. i bought my silverstars a little over a year ago and still no fade in light output. plus the silverstars uses stock wattage so no worries in melting the harness etc.

Good to know. I was debating getting some of these before my injectors went in the crapper. They're about $25/each in my area.
