    What brand of headlight bulbs are you guys using? I am talking about stock bulbs...9003/H4. I keep having to replace silverstars every 3-4 months it seems like. I started driving with the headlights off during the daytime and only running them at night and that seemed to give me an extra month or 2 on the lifespan. I would go get the oem ones from toyota but they are ridiculous $ for a lower performing bulb. I get that a higher output bulb will have a shorter lifespan but I am not even getting 6 months out of a bulb. Thanks in advance!

    Been looking at the nightbreakers from OSRAM but the reviews are sort of similar in life span it seems. I guess I had oem bulbs in there for quite a while and then when I switched to the silverstars thats when it went to shit...

    I use the cheapest parts store brand. If you look on the back of the package, it will tell you how many service hours they're rated for. I think silverstars are like 160hrs and the cheapest ones are 2000hrs

    Yeah I have read that on the packaging. I want to do the ultimate headlight upgrade later this year but I guess I will have to go with the cheapies next time these go out until then. Le sigh

    Shouldnt need to. Youre not messing with any of the suspension stuff. Discount Tire should be balancing the wheels so itll be smooth.

    I didnt do an alignment when I went up to 285
