Hey guys...my high beam recently burnt out and i figured i might as well get some brighter lights. Not impressed with the stock lighting. Has anyone put the silverstars in? What model do we use and where can i get them? thanks

Use the H13ST for the headlights and the 9145ST for the fogs. They do make a nice improvement! Sorry, forgot the rest of your question. You can get them at Autozone.

You might check out the silverstar ultras. I think the s/s headlights suck, not much of an improvement (H13) but the fogs 9145?? are a great improvement.

They released the H13ST's about 3-4 months ago. I bought mine the first day that I heard they were finally making them. The guy at Autozone said that they had just gotten them in that morning (3 sets) and I bought the first ones at about 4:30 that afternoon. They are $20.00 each.

What are Silverstar Ultras? I have never heard of those. Do you know part number and availability.

I guess the Silver Star's weren't bright enough so they made Ultra models that are brighter, better, etc... I checked the local Auto Zone, (there is a question of my automotive EXPERT that helped me though) and they said they did make the yet. The Sylvania web-site is a joke.

Are the Ultras safe to use in the factory housing? Can someone get us a part number and price? Anyone know about the 06 fog lights as well?

apparently it's easy to put a 9005 in the fog...so why not just throw in a
9005st.... I'm going to autozone tomorrow to try out the set up...

They don't make a SilverStar Ultra in the H13.

That's correct. We've barely gotten Silverstars in our bulb number, so I doubt we'll see Ultras anytime soon. BTW, I wouldn't use the Ultra 9005s for the fogs on our trucks. I noticed that the Silverstar 9005s I've got have burnt a spot of one lense about a nickel size.
