I fit the 9005s in my 06 no problem at all. It was like they were meant to be there.

H13's are in and the 9005 st fit just fine. They are definitely brighter but not sure if they are worth the extra dough. Just my opinion. ZFortunately I had the 9005's out of another car (anyone want some 9006 st slightly used?)

Well I just purchased some for my headlights only. I am going to take a drive tonight and see how many people flicker their lights at me thinking I have my high beams on. If all goes well ill pick up some for my fogs next week.

I just installed the H13STs and can tell the difference. I have always had silver stars in my fogs as I have a hard time seeing at night anymore. I feel the new 13's are worth the $$.

I just drove with them for the first time and I cant really see that much of a difference. Yea the light is whiter but not worth the hype. I guess ill keep them and I now need to purchase the fogs. To match and maybe it will make a difference when I have the fogs in also.

While not a big difference, the Silverstars are brighter and whiter, and I do notice it driving home down the back roads with no streetlights. Worth having, esp with it getting dark that much earlier....

Even though mine is only leveled and not "lifted" I have had a couple of people flash the brights at me. Both while running the fogs lights and without them, and never happened before (that I can remember) So I adjusted the headlights down a little, they would bearly shine past the fogs, and I would still get flashed to dim the lights. So I figured to hell with it, I put the lights back to where they where at, I guess that it just must be a the way that the lights shine. Oh well....

Yea, I do have the 9005ST in the fogs, but it didn't matter if I had them on or not. Like on sunday night, my girlfriend and I were leaving her parents and coming home. I got flashed with fogs on, so I turned them off everytime that I saw a car coming. I then got flashed 2 more times with the fogs off and the lights on dim. Then on the road to our house, my girl was 1/2-3/4 mile in front of me, had the fogs on with lights on dim and she called my cell and told me "god those lights are bright, dim those things" so I turned the brights on. She said that they were very, very bright (with both fogs on and brights).

So I am not sure what is going on, I guess that I will just have to live with getting flashed, and not the type of flashing that I want to be seeing...
