Default cheaper than HIDS!!

i got tired of not being able to see at night so i took some silverstars and sealed them in the factory houseings then took some camaro headligt connectors and wired them in, and i got some new foglights to match the headlights, its amazing how much of a difference it is...

though i might warn you i too went that approach though they look awesome but silverstars are known for burning out rather quickly as in a 3 to 5 month life span believe me i know ....i finally went with hid's and planning on making projectors soon though... my hid's are in custom made h4 housing for now... by a non sposered company .....silverstars look great but dont last worth a s**t for $20 a bulb anyways.....sylvania need to fix them right !!!!!

must be getting a bad sets of bulbs then from advance.... seriously on my g/f's bugg i swear we go thru like at least 3 sets a year it seems on just the headlight not counting the foglights eitheri basically gave up and plan on gettting her a hid kit as well ........another thing i noticed on the silverstars is the blue light over period of time the blue hue burns away and putting a new bulb beside it in the other light makes the old almost look like a stock bulb........

Sure you're not touching the bulb when you install them?
