So where are people finding the H13 SilverStars? I tried the local Wally world with no luck. After removing the headlights from the '04 when I traded it in on the '06 I found out the bulb was changed.

For some reason, all of the pictures of my headlights look like crap. I have a brand new digital camera (Canon EOS 5D) and I am not familiar with all of the manual apperture and f-stop settings. I was able to get a good shot of my rear lights, but am still working on the head lights. I will try to get some good ones tonight!

Your apperture is not the main thing you need to adjust when taking a picture of headlights. It's all about setting the right exposure time. What sort of HID setup are you running that allows the use of highbeams still? Do the '06's have single filliment bulbs?

The HIDs came with a halogen for high-beam use. I bought them off Ebay.

Hey Guys check out WWW.xtralights.com they may have somthing there for your newer models in HIDs.For my 03 I can get either just low beam,or hi/low beam HIDs.I`m looking at getting some for my unit because those darn "silverstars just don`t cut it.Or maybe it`s the thinner air up here in Alberta.

Not a expert on upgrading bulbs, but I have heard of guys in the Ford world frying the harness with Silverstars. Why would that happen? and Has it happened to anybody on this iste?

Fogs are sapposed to be yellow...that's how they cut through the FOG, just go look at a Lexus some time....

and why are your roof lights white? I'm guessing ur blinkers are white too....
