Thanks

The have a life about the same as standard halogens, we have a pair of silverstars in our Focus which has daytime running lights. The bulbs last almost exactly 1 year. I put the stocker back in that and ordered another set of silverstar off Ebay, now I just have to put the stars back in. If you want a bulb with more life than the standard halogens then go with the silverstar ultras, they are just as bright as the standard silverstars they just have a long run time.

Hmmm...I'm going to have to rethink this. I don't want to have to buy bulbs every year or so. I want to set 'em and forget 'em. Maybe I'll wait until one of my stock ones goes out.
Pretty cool how we both took a picture of our truck from the same angle in our driveways and used it for our signature.

. You won't have to replace the bulbs every year, the reason that I do in the Focus is that is has daytime running lights which use the headlight bulb, so they are on whenever the car is running, this is the reason for the short lifespan in the car. Heck I even had to replace the stockers once, and the car is only a 05 and it will be on its 4th set of bulbs. It gets old replacing them every year, so I am thinking of maybe doing a HID kit in there also.
