SilverStar Ultras for H3?

RE: SilverStar Ultras for H3?
Not to beat a dead horse, but I put the SilverStars in both the headlights and fog lights the day I took delivery of the truck -- the mains were easy to switch out, but the fogs took a bit of delicate work. If you turn the wheel all the way to one side and crawl under the front end, you can just reach up into the grill with two fingers to to the switch......it's worth it.

I think the reason for the Silver's are that they are plug and play. It took me all of 10 minutes to install both headlights and both fog lights.
With a higher temp bulb you need more wattage to be pumped through it. Hence you either need to upgrade your wiring harness or put a ballast in, which takes more time and a bit more work to get it just right. The problem with Xeons atm is there are no real H13 bulbs, as far as I know, (Importkiller is the expert on this!) and you will not be able to have High beams while using the Xeons. You can only keep low's on. Maybe Import will stop by the thread later and enlighten us with his wisdom.
