Thank you all for your advice. I exchanged the Silverstars for a new pair and installed them and made sure they were all the way in. They are working just fine now. They are much whiter but I feel they dont light up as big an area as the stock lights. Im gonna keep the new ones in for now and test them out for a week or so. Also are the philips w5w bulbs the best match for the parking lights. Thankyou again.
