no complaints on th 08 I get people flashing me with my lows on I flash back. lol then the light war begins its usually a short battle once I throw the roof lights on can't wait till I have four more on the bumper.... there you go install aftermarket on the bumper with a couple 100w bulbs

 

Hi:

Thanks to all for answer also for the jokes, very funny.

Talking about an electrical issue I don't think so even problems with the aim level, the truck is a 2010 brand new, is with me about 2 months.
I know it can happens but, I really don't think that's my problem.
Lights are suppose to bright more with the high beams on, well I really don't see any increased difference, the light get loose I don't know where, I can't see well with the high beams. Low beam bright acceptable, normal.

With high beams, its hard to notice a difference in "brightness"

Whats changing when you flick the switch is the beam of light is aimed out father. The light is scattered and in the wide open, unless there is anything for that light to bounce off of, you wont see that great. High beams are great for wooded areas to see dangers before its too late, but in the wide open I just leave the lows on. They light up the road better.

 

Hi:

You're completely right, that's what happening to me, at high beams the light get loose in open areas.
Thanks for the though is very true..

Now do you think I can get better visibility with a pair of Xenon or anyother after market high density bulbs?

Thanks again

Silverstars are your best bet. or install 100w lights behind your grill like a few of us have done. You can redirect that light where ever you want and light up the road before you.

 

this works but you do loose some light from the grill I've seen guys around here with aftermarket lights mounted right to the bumper just my 0.02

 

Silverstars ultras are only going to "appear" brighter. Its all an illusion. With the Silverstar bulbs that claim to be whiter and brighter, they are actually whiter and dimmer. If you look at the bulb, it has a tinted film on it that turns the light white. In reality, it actually blocks some of the light to create the white color. You actually have less light being produced out of a Silverstar Ultra than you do out of a Silverstar Extra Vision. Get a bulb with no covering if you want the best performance. If you want a better bulb that is white or blue, go HID.

For the physics lesson: The light created from a standard bulbs creates colors of light from all over the spectrum (blues, yellows, reds, ect). When all this light is combined, it creates the yellow tinted light that we see with our human eye. Each color in that light has a different wavelength. If you want a different color, you have to put an absorber around the bulb to remove some of the wavelengths that you dont want. Filtering out wavelengths will dim you overall output of light. So while the yellow haze that comes with all regular bulbs is ugly, its the best bulb you can get for a stock headlight.

 

true, you will lose some light going thru the grill, but the light he gains is light he doesn't have right now and will be 100 times better than what he has now. behind the grill is more protected and looks great. Just my opinion.

 

I have mine on a seperate toggle switch so I can have them on with my hibeams or low. Here is the front with the low beams (PIAA Projectors) fog lights (silverstar replacements) and PIAA driving lights (100 W)
