He's a smart and very helpful guy. He send stats to support why he supports the bulbs he does. I got the narva bulbs and am very happy with them.

Just wanted to point out that there could be human factor here. Wasn't talking about the quality though - there are definitely better as bassplayr points out - but I think most people's complaints was that they go out really quick, and this hasn't happened to me with many different sets.
Yeah, I guess some of my posts come off snappy. I love a good discussion, but the crap that has been going on recently has not been a respectful discussion, more like a panty bunching contest (not talking about our racing discussion). Not sure why people have to be like that, but hey it's the internet. I'm over it now though.
PS - what's a "Narva" - is it a super-whammo quality light? Never heard of them.

OSRAM Silverstars from the UK. You will actually get a better light out put with those as opposed to less light with the US Sylvania Silverstars.
Like these one here but the size you need

That's why I told him to get the REAL Sylvania (OSRAM) SS. It's like on the East coast the call Best Food Mayo, Wellmans, or at least I think it is just a name thing.

Becasue there is a possibility you have a wiring or fuse problem you should probably buy 1 cheapo to get you through a few days and see what happens.
