I installed this setup in my 1009 and for a long time ran the highest rated silverstar lights. A lot of light, so much in fact that people would flash me to switch on my low beams, which is what they were looking at. Problem was i kept popping bulbs, sometimes 1 or 2 a year. i read that this...

Everyone keeps mentioning getting their original rebuilt. Where can you get this done? I asked a few people where I live and they told me not to fool with it. The new replacements are quite simply a waste of money.

I installed an LMC harness on my truck a couple of years back and started running it with Sylvania silver stars. Awesome light output, but now I am replacing bulbs a couple of times a year give or take. Any suggestions on this. Too hot??? Would cutting back to regular bulbs help, or is there...
