Thanks again for the write up.
Illegal?? Care to clarify?

Nice writeup. I have Silverstars in my headlights, but have yet to change out the foglamps. Now I put them both on and you can really see the difference between Silverstar and OEM!! Now as far as HID...nah. I have better things to waste my money on!!

Great simple write-up thanks. I've been contemplating this upgrade and trying to decide on Silverstar or next step-up. Not sure is going more than Silverstar is necessary for me and the life of the Silverstars looks to be longer than the higher intensities.

Just did my lights as well. Excited for it to get dark so I can see how much of a difference they make!

Well is is dark and I am impressed! I can see now and can take the money I saved and put it towards a lift, etc. I really don't think they need to be that much (if any at all) brighter on city streets. For off road I will rely more on KC's or the equivalent. Great mod!

Any idea if the same bulb (H13) is used for the 2011s? Sorry for the thread resurrection. Lol.

Hey, that is a great question and I'm glad someone was able to answer it. I'm sure others have had the same question so now they can search and find the answer
