So I put in silverstars about a year ago.. Yesterday the right one burns out.

SO i buy a new 2 pack... 30 bucks

Replace the light, and turn the car on. The left one comes one then goes out. The right one(just replaced) doesnt come on.

So i turn the lights off, then back on. Right one comes one and left one is now burned out.

WTF is happening? I dont want to put another $15 bulb in there to have it blow.


Does anyone have any experience with both bulbs going out?

How many watts are the SilverStars?

 

[QuadinScionTC]

55, just like stock.

 

[KeyLaTaN]

i thought our stock wattage on our low beams were 51 watts....

 

[phungy]

Actually stock isn't 55w...I believe its 53w

Have you considered the possibility that all the electrical components you have added to your car may have created a problem of some sort?

HIDs dont make you illegal.

Any non-OEM HID installs are technically illegal. Even a perfectly done projector retrofit.

If you are into aftermarket bulbs a lot - PIAA has great warranty and they honor it.

I personally have a set of silverstars in the tC for 16 months now and they came from my Matrix (+6 months). I guess I am not using the headlights that much

Oh, and when these burn out - stock bulbs are going in. I was stupid in the first place to pay $30 for a pair of bulbs...

True in every state I've ever checked.

I haven't seen that any where or ever herd of anything like that. I have HIDs and i don't get pulled over for having illegal lights. So whats your problem Get HIDs driving with them are actually safer. Silverstars hahaha they aren't white they are yellow. I have Silverstar High beams and HID 8000K low beams the the silverstars are yellow so i think that is sad. Also if the HID kit is DOT approved then you have nothing to worry about.

 

[basilisk4]

HIDs may be safer for the person using them, but they are not necessarily safe for others. Also, if your state outlaws them, it is irrelevant whether they are DOT-approved.

 

[Plissken]

I didn't say you would get pulled over. i said it is technically illegal to have non-OEM HID lights in your vehicle. Would I install them in my car? Yes. Would I know they are technically illegal? Yes.

check all your fuses. the bulbs might be fine but if you crossed a wire anywhere else in the car they might just not be coming on.

they work now........ you guys are crazy.
