Where do you get the wire harness? I just ordered some 9007 Nokya Cosmic White Pro Magnum Hallogens do you think i'll need the harness for sure?

why would you seriously pay that much for bulbs? you can pick up a set of hids for the same price...

Exactly!

If the OP would have started a NEW thread, someone would flame them for starting it, or someone would chime in with the old SEARCH comment.

I like reading these old zombie threads.

Anyway, I'll take another +1 post count anyway.

I run Silverstar Ultras (9007's & 9005's)

Everything old is new again.

Thread's new to me, and I probably wouldn't have dug it up if it wasn't bumped back to the "front page".

FWIW. I changed to Silverstars about six months into owning my vehicle - went through about 2 pairs of Silverstars in the next couple of years - they seemed to burn out quicker than stock (which were OEM Sylvanias).

Finally just went back to ordinary 9007s - the Silverstars were brighter, but not really worth it, IMO.

Know someone running HIDs - they're really bright, but I don't need something that bright, and I don't need oncoming drivers constantly flashing their headlights at me.

Lot's of good info on lighting on "Daniel Stern Lighting" - Google it, it's full of interesting reading.

I had Silverstars in my truck when I got it from my dad. Been through 3 sets in 6 months because one or the other keeps burning out. Finally decided to stop wasting money on them and went back to OEM bulbs. I don't notice any difference in visibility or distance, but I do notice a reduction in reflection and glare which is better for snowy and wet conditions.
