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...

Yea your right, being lifted doesn't help, especially with the fog lights.

Any word on the expected longevity of these bulbs? My past experience is about a year for Silverstars, which is unacceptable for the cost. If that's the case then my XVs will do until they die. They light up the road really well. They haven't been in a year yet, but we'll see.

I just got the fogs and wow the fogs with the headlights make a difference. When I drive my moms BMW with hids and my truck I can barely tell the difference. So yea. Everyone be sure to get the silverstar fogs also for the real difference!

With the 9005ST is there any concern with the bulbs getting too hot or the wiring not being rated for the additional wattage since these are high beam light instead of the standard fog light?

Man, I don't know how to break it to you guys, but I added the 9005's to my fogs last year and the results were awesome. I added the new H13ST's last week and I'm not impressed at all. Are they better than stock? Yes. Are they $40.00 better than stock? No. Good thing I've got the Hella 550's behind my grill for when I really need some fire power.

Sorry guys I've been gone for a while and had NO idea the silverstars were out for our trucks. I checked through the thread and I couldn't find the part number for the turn signs.
Sorry if I missed it. I know the headlights are H13ST and the Fogs are 9145's.
Thanks
