Default Re: lining up headlights

Funny you should mention that. I just put SilverStars in my ride this evening and had an eye-opening experience. I installed the bulbs paying very careful attention to the alignment. When I got dark I went out for a ride and couldn't see sh*t! The headlights were illuminating only about 3 ft in front of the car. WTF?! So I re-installed the stock bulb on one side and everything looked as it should. I put the SilverStar back in and it was messed up again. I started fiddling around with it and it discovered that the SilverStars have kind of a "false seated" position. Once I thought I had it seated, I jiggled/rotated the bulb a bit and it seated again and Voila! Things were working perfectly! It took me two or three tries on each side before I got it right, but the effort was worth it. The SilverStars are working like they should and the color temperature/illumination they provide is awesome! I would highly recommend them. Just be careful and take your time when you install them.
