    Yeah, it says on the package they guarantee them for 12 months. I may look into it, but I have a feeling it'd be quite a hassle to get a replacement anytime soon.

    I drive with my lights on all of the time. I figure if they are on people will notice me driving and wont cut me off and what not. As far as I know they are stock bulbs and its an 03.

    Awesome, thanks. I think I'll just throw my stock bulb back in for the summer and give the PIAAs a shot in the fall. I won't need them for a couple months anyway :D

    lol sweet. I really like the output of the silverstars. My brother has a lifted 01 with stock bulbs and they are terrible. The lenses are slightly faded, but the output is just awful. He always gets jealous when he rides in my truck and likes how much light it puts out. I think my sagging ass-end has something to do with my lights being angled slightly upwards though. I had to angle my driver side light down a bit because I was getting flashed at a few times.

    Oh I have lots of plans for lighting :spy: haha, but I'm waiting to do it right. I'm gonna wait for a plate bumper for fogs/spots so I have a nice solid spot to mount them. But the OME lift has to go on before that...Man, I really want to be done with school so I can start making more money. One more semester :cool:

    Great vid.

    I'm always afraid to air down too much and possibly lose the seal/bead.

    15 psi is okay?

    I have stock 15" wheels with 31 x 10.5 BFG all terrains

    yeah 15psi has alway done me right. when i was 2wd i would only drop them to 17-18psi to help keep them on the rim cause i had to beat on them to get traction. if you go slow and watch your step 15psi is fine!
