Where Titiusville at. Is it anywhere near Panama City, FL. Take a trip up to Panama City next summer if you like getting flashed. Be sure to buy plenty of beads.

Might be a stupid question, but can the Silverstars be used with a DRL system?

quick question: My 04 needs 9008 headlights and 9145 fogs. I can't find silverstar replacements. Is there a substitue bulb I could use or does anyone know where I could find these? Thanks.

If the 9145 are your fogs, the 9005s will work.

RP,
The DRL lights are just the stock headlight bulbs. I added DRLs using the Ford parts, ie, relay and resistor block.

In that case, I'd say that you'd have zero troubles with the Silverstars... but, just to make sure, you might try giving Sylvania customer service a call.

You will be fine using Silverstars as daytime running lights. Just using a lower wattage is not doing damage or anything to the bulb.
As for the 9008, it is a brand new bulb first released in the '04 F-150. It is not in any other vehicle as of now. As stated by nhmikel, it is designed to be legal in both the US and Europe so manufacturers don't have to design two lighting systems or sacrifice on one. Who knows when the Silverstar will be out but don't worry it will be available in the future.
