****************************I bought a new set of lamps yesterday right after my last post. Standard wattage at autozone. They are the Silverstar Ultra. 4100K bulbs. 55/65 Watts. Very white light, much better than the PIAA bulbs! The low beams are extra wide over the standard bulbs, and I gotta tell ya, the high beam turns night into day. I was very surprised by them. I can see a mile with them from the woods to the left of the left lane all the way to the right woods. I think I'm gonna scratch plans for auxiliary lights after trying these. I paid about 50 bucks for a set of two. You can probably find them cheaper, but I wanted to just get them done and autozone was close to work. Saw a deer standing on the edge of the woods last night on the way home, that I know I wouldn't have seen before, felt good about that, as besides drunk drivers, deer are my number 1 concern on my late night/early morning rides home from work. Pot holes worry me a bit too but, I pretty much know where they all are, and when to be in which lane, but I can definately are the road in front of me better now.
These are silverstar ULTRA a step up from the silver star lamps. They are in a brownish orange package. Couldn't find a part number on the package. But I would say they are WELL worth the 50 bucks, and even better if you can find them cheaper.

Uhhhhh.........might want to start a fuel injection thread? I am having to really stretch to see how this relates to lowbeams.I'm curious if some one would go to their diagnostic screen, go to D:09 and flip the kill switch to run position and tell me what you get for your fuel system voltage reading?.book says it should be 12, mine isn't and not real close to it IMO so if love to know what a few others are getting for a reading
Still waiting for an answer to this part, anyone care to check it for me?!?....
I've been running these Ultra bulbs since early spring and probably 4K miles to-date without problem. I like 'em, but think I only paid something like $30-$35 when they were on sale.***********************Guess I owe you a good job Southern Cruiser. Just the bulbs! You nailed it. Thanks
Hmmm..better hold that good job thingie for a bit...just realized that you bought the ULTRAS...I think the ones that kept going out on me were the regular Silver Stars...I musta had a brain fart for not catching that the 1st time around...maybe the ultras will do better. Later!
