I believe that they do make the SS in H3 also.
Check around.

I still have my original PIAA Xtreme Whites and they look great with the Silverstars.

Thx, guys!

I have another question:

Hm. How snug are these bulbs supposed to be? I had an awful time getting the rubber plugs to come off. A lot of build up of grease and other stuff made it so slick I felt like giving up after 10 minutes of pulling and cutting my hands on the battery frustrated the hell out of me! I finally got them off though... changed the bulbs... and got the bulbs to fit perfectly into the hole.

Problem seems to be that while the rubber plugs have been stuck back on, they don't seem to hold the bulbs as snug as before. I'm not sure, but I think I could be blinding people if I continue to drive around like this.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the 2 metal things... but can't figure it out.

Anyone have any advice?

1. FIRST, undo the metal clip. Squeeze it together and pull out.
2. THEN, pull the rubber thing out.

It sounds like you reversed these steps (or just skipped #1 altogether).

I've wanted to use this for some time now. Hehe.

Okay, seriously. I got the bulbs changed... so that's cool. After reading what you guys said about the metal clips, it seems that they play some part in keeping the bulbs snug (this is the reason why it was a biatch at a half to get the rubber plugs off without messing with the clips).

I think I just stuck the rubber plugs back on without even using the clips.

Bleh.

Actually, they play the ENTIRE role. The rubber thing is just for weatherproofing it. Put them back in bro...

They have H3 PIAA LEDs?! Or do the regular 194 wedge bulbs fit in there too???

I have some in my front sidemarkers and they are purty.

BTW, I got the clips on. Yay, me! BAHAHA.
