I run the silverstars in my car, replace every year but I don't mind that. I ran them in my runner before I went to HIDs, the 99+ headlight style is a definite bonus with them. The 97 headlights I had didn't have nearly the same output with the same bulbs.
He got it right, learned this when I installed that system into my 97 out of an 02. If I ever believe something like that to be a good idea to cure boredom again I think my other half will kill me out of frustration (both mine and hers).
