Last night I went out and got the Silverstar parking lights and head lights. I must say, what a difference! The lights are so much crisper, and the way the parking lights set off the front is a very nice touch. Here are a couple pics of the parking lights.

woooooo! i'm on a roll now!
I Love Silverstars they were really bright and slightly blue but didn't have that dull blue look. They only thing I don't like is I wish the life of the bulb lasted longer. $40 for a pair and it only lasted 3 months?? But I guess you have to sacrafice brightness for durability.

Shit, I hope that doesnt turn out to be true with mine...

It snowed that week so I had to wait a couple of days before I could buy a new one. And about 3-4 days later my other headlight burned out. I'm surprised they both burned out around the same time. But someone says its the cold weather that affects them? Anyone heard of this??
WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?!?! The signal bulbs i mean. I know i can order them online but i was just hoping to grab a pair of them this weekend and couldnt find them. I went to 1 ABC Auto, 1 Autozone and 3 Pep Boys and none of them had them.

From what I've heard with most of the aftermarket bulbs like the silverstar's or the street glow optx series bulbs, you need to make sure you do not touch the bulb when u put it in, only the base. Otherwise the risk of it burning out quicker greatly increses if not instantaneous from the oil off of peoples hands. Just somethin that I heard which I thought to be true.

Hey, just thought I'd lend an "expert" advice. I work full-time doing customer service for a lighting company. And, as you mentioned, the oils from your hands can sometimes shorten the life of high intensity halogen bulb. Even though auto headlights aren't technically HID lighting technology, they are susceptible to oil. I put a new pair of bulbs in my old car that burned out in a month because I had mistakenly touched the bulb with my hands. However, if you do touch the bulb, if you wipe it clean with a cotton cloth or paper towel, you can still salvage the bulb. I had a pair of Silverstars in my previous car that had lasted 6 months or so and were still working when they were sheared from the front of my car by an Explorer at 60 mph. Anyway, the point is, DON'T TOUCH THE GLASS ON YOUR HEADLIGHT BULBS BEFORE YOU PUT THEM IN. I would even suggest using some new, clean, rubber surgical-type gloves when installing them just to be safe.
