    fog lights work normal-high beams work normal---PROBLEM IS :no lowbeams at all. foglight indicator works normal and highbeam indicator works normal.

    Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be?

    Thanks in advance

    I have heard the bulbs can be put in upside down real easily, perhaps this is what has happened?

    Did you just install them or have they been installed for some time now? Funnier things have happened, but they if you've had them on for awhile they may have burned out at the same time.

    i pulled the bulbs and both were burned out on lowbeam.I run lights allday everyday and thats probably why they didn't last that long.I had no blown fuses when i checked b4 putting in new bulbs.I have stopped using lowbeams during day and the "auto off"position for my headlights.Maybe this will make em last longer we'll see.Thanks for the reply.

    Silverstars, IMO, are great, however, if you use them everyday they will not last long. Only using them at night will only yield about a years worth of time on the calendar, more if your lucky.

    Thats correct, they cost 3X more and last less than 1/2 as long.
