Dear Abby,
so which bulbs to get from www.danielsternlighting.com and which have you guys tried/like???
The H3
1.)60/55W Ultra High Efficacy Plus 50 (Tungsram Megalicht, Narva Rangepower+50, Osram Silverstar or Philips VisionPlus*): $17/ea
2.)60/55W Narva Rangepower High Efficacy Plus 30: $11/ea
3.)100/55W Narva: $15/ea
4.)100/90W Narva: $18/ea
5.)130/100W Narva: $19/ea
Of course the more wattage the better so #5 sounds great right? But won't a wiring harness made for 55w bulbs melt trying to power a 130w bulb or high-beam, if you will????
Thanks,
Confused Cody

so these 3.)100/55W Narva: $15/ea should be ok???? Yeah, I just don't wanna overkill my wiring and melt it.

Another good way to get your bulbs to last longer...is to not touch them with your bare hands.
The oils from your hands do some funky stuff to the bulbs

From my post from 4-16, I went in and xchanged them for some new ones hoping that it was just a faulty one. Well all has been well until i noticed my driver side low beam and my pas side fog light went out today. I think i'm just going to put my money toward some Sti headlights.
