Painted Fogs

[no_spool]

Anyone having a problem with their bulbs burning out ALOT after painting their fogs?? Mine are pretty dark, like an amber color. Just wondering if its getting to hot now and burning up. This is my 2nd set of silverstars in 2 months...

Silverstars can be the problem. Some people have problems with them buring out all the time no matter if its a painted fog or not.

People have had problems with the silverstar fog bulbs burning out not the headlight bulbs.

Seach "silverstar fogs" and Im sure youll run across some interesting threads

Dont touch the bulbs with your fingers i'v had mine in the car for almost a year no problems.

i bought cheap bulbs on ebay and touched the bulbs, dropped them twice, and they've still been burning for about a year now

+1. The oil on your hands drastically reduces the life of the bulb. My silverstar fogs have been running for almost a year already.

GOD I know not to touch the bulbs...I have been working on cars for awhile now. I was a tech at dodge

i used to have a mazda 6 and my silverstars burned out all the time. so maybe the bulbs the problem, cuz when i switched to tenrai bulbs, ive never had a problem

Clean your fingers with rubbing alcohol first and you can handle those bulbs for hrs!!!!!

Touching the bulbs with your fingers wont make them burn out faster, it will make the actual glass itself burst from the oils left behind heating up the glass.
