bulbs burn out!
 
hey i just got the new projectors and within a week i have burnt out two silverstars in the same spot, driverside lowbeam. I figured i was probably an idiot with the first one and touch it by accident, but now im thinking somethings wrong? I know that alot of ppl have badluck with silverstars. Im thinking i might just go get a replacement for like 10 bucks then if that goes bad try some piaa's or something. any ideas what to do?

Silverstars don't last for crap, I had them on my Cavi and went through 3 sets in 6 months and gave up. Either spend the extra for some PIAAs or drop back down to something cheeper.

check the sockets. bulbs burning out like that are usually caused from a loose socket and the bulb rattles around in there eventually blowing it out. Take a small pick or something with a point, and bend the metal tabs on the sockets inward so the bulb fits tighter. It should help the problem. Either that or dont use silverstar ;)

Get streetglow xenons, i've been rocking mine since last summer and they still rule, they even survived through a front-end car accident where the headlights were destroyed
