Default HID's

I have used Silverstars in the past and just was not very impressed with the output vs. cost. So this time I decided to go HID conversion and couldnt be happier. It is like night and day difference.

I used silverstars too, and they helped a lot. Also, try aiming them, Jeep did a bad job aiming them from the factory.

Silverstars don't last very long at all. Not worth the money in my opinion because they burn out anytime after about 3 months. Anyone do an HID conversion yet? As for the Flowmaster, have them redo it, the markings are on the muffler for a reason I'm thinking...

Assuming I get the gloves and install them perfectly, how long do they last?
