I don't know about these Nokias but I tried several different bulbs from Ebay (most were 100 or 120 watts) and they all melted the plug that went into the bulb. Luckily, Wal-Mart had replacement plugs for 3.00. Beware though Wal-mart no longer caries these replacement plugs. Auto Zone and Advance Auto doesn't carry them either.
I had SilverStars in a few vehicles and never had any problems melting wires. They weren't much brighter or whiter than stock either.

RE: Silverstar's anyone?
i got the silverstars in my 06 and i got to say i wasnt all that impressed at all.... they are just a little better than stock.... i went with hid an hid kit after and is soo much better.... so damn bright... im in the proccess of buying projector lenses and retorfiting them into my stock headlight housing to focus the light even better. but dont buy silverstars if you have a stocvk bulb out, just buy regular because its not worth the extra money to buy the silverstars at all.

Question for you guys using the Nokya bulbs. I see they have "heavy-duty" wiring harnesses available for them. Did you have any problems with the stock headlight wiring on the truck? Or did you install the heavier wire? Thanks
