Thumbs up

I'd worry about the hedlight wire harness now.. anytime I've seen someone put higher wattage bulbs in they ususally end up burning the harness.. looks good though man

Thanks.......I checked before I bought them and the stock wiring should be fine because the low beams are under 100w (anything over and you want to upgrade the wiring)

I did it with the silverstars 2 days ago, it's a huge difference to me. No more drive by candlelight feeling. I just bought new headlamps and the bulbs rotated out easily. I would have used my old ones, but they were kinda yellow and dingy. Only problem was that the way I mounted the bulb the headlight had to sit upside down. I dont think it makes a difference since everything inside is the same, just the word on the outside is upside down.

I'd say that's what I need too. Lol at the candlelight feeling, the only thing worse are the lights on my winter car!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I too almost had to mount one upside down because I put the bulb in with the connector facing the opposite way. It wouldn't fit upside down so I took a dremel and made it fit the right way up
