    Not sure if you're talking to me but if you are, you mean using silverstar ultra bulbs for a DRL? Waste of $50. They burn out way too fast.

    just a fyi, any bulb that has a coating on it just reduces the amount of light output. :D

    make sure its the same wattage bulb too because a lot of the bulbs that are supposed to be 6000k halogens might rape your stock wiring from what i know.

    Make sure you keep an eye on them and make sure they dont burn out and also check your housing every once in a while for any melting issues. I had cheap Ebay ones like that on my Jetta years ago the burned out quite quickly.
    I've heard nothing but good reviews on Phillips light bulbs but they are on teh pricier side thats for sure but you get what you pay for.
