Well as terrible as it is, i've been running 80/100w for about 6 months. The bulbs look great, I absolutely love them and they are bright, but I really am getting worried about frying the wiring, especially because it'd be such a pain to fix. Not sure what i'm gunna do

i think that's too much. doesn't suvlights.com have wiring harnesses? i would also be concerned about melting the plastic housing, though.

I have GE Superblue lights for headlights and fogs. They're almost identical to the Sylvania Cool Blues, but about 1/2 the price. You can pick up a 2-pack of the GE Superblues at Walmart for $17.88. They're definitely better than stock.

I got PIAA Xtreme bulbs for my headlights and some Japanese brand that Sonic's sells for my fog lights. I like them both, the headlights are good cause they are bright and have that clean look instead of that real blue look...kinda $$$ but I'm happy with them. :D

Silverstars will probably last the rest of the life of your car unless you have your DRL enabled. They will last as long as your OEM Sylvania halogens.

For Headlight and fogs i have the sliver star's they perform good and give a nice white looking output. not like the stock yellow. had them for about 3 months they haven't blown out yet. great buy a autozone. 20 bucks a peice.
