I went an put in some new bulbs today. Read all the posts on headlights and such, I just went with new bulbs. Looked at Silverstars, every store that carried them only seemed to have only one bulb, my size {9008} no 2 paks, also looked at Piaa's, went to Lordco today to get some Piaa's and they also had Hella's so I got them to try. Now just got to get out in the dark to see how bright they are. Piaa's - $ 89.99 , Hella's - $ 65.99.
I also got my fog lights, behind my grill, finally hooked up also.
Should be good an bright, now all I have to do is take some pics for you guys so I don't get thrown off this site, LOL

 

 

^^^^^^ i agreeeee lol PICS!!!

 

I have a second so pics are now mandatory! lol

 

Not sure if you know this or not, maybe you do and I'm going to sound like and idiot. But 9008's are the same as H13's. I didn't know this at first. H13's are much easier to find. Not sure why the dual listing.

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing...H13's never really heard of 9008's before!

 

Most packages are labeled H13/9008... I picked up 2 double packages from Pep boys of the Silverstar's 4000k on black Friday for $19.99 with a $10.00 mail and rebate. Couldn't pass up the price. They say the wont last as long, but they sure are brighter and make it easier to see.

My biggest suggestion when replacing any electrical is to add some Dielectric grease into the connection. Helps keep water out and will keep the contacts from corroding.
Best thing for your trailer lights hook up in the winter!

 

good to know where do you pick up the dielectric grease from pepboys/autozone places like that?

Having problems with my phone, doesn't want to down load.
Was out tonight, lights are sure bright but I did notice one thing, they are shinning way to high, I have a 2" leveling kit in, does that mean I have to put in rear blocks cause I didn't see any up/down adjustments on my headlights only side to side. I have a 2005 Dak 4x4 club cab. I am going to have to pull a light and take another good look, any one have any ideas.
Ya I knew 9008 are the same as H13, but for some reason around here either one are hard to find, Piaa's and Hella's { the ones I got} were the only pair packages, silverstars were in singles and cost more than the pair packages.
