i checked them out and they look brighter as well as whiter. How much were they at Pepboys? and I guess they just are a straight light change?

They were $59.99 for the H/L He did not have the fog light in stock, but it may have been 49.99 for that one - or 59 too. Not sure. yes they were plug and play standard sized replacements for our bulbs. - BUT...

My question is how do 4GEN headlight assemblies do with with this style of bulb replacement? I noticed that the factory LBeam has that hood/reflector thing on the bulb to reflect the light back into the assembly and then outward. That's why we have such POOR light dispersion. Have any of you guys just picked up the H11 & 9005 bulb sets and dropped them into the sockets... and are you happy with the results over stock?

I tried some of the other Silverstar series bulbs when I first got my truck because yes, the light output from factory is just a step above a candlelight, but it wasn't too much of an improvement. That's when I decided to breakdown and buy some JJ lights. Not afraid to drive at night anymore

I work at Oreillys we have them to. For that cost you can get hids. It's not worth the money. I promise

Picked up a set for my srt from HIDgate on eBay for $60 shipped. Great quality too. Had them for three years and not a single issue.

If you get them keep us posted. They might be worthwhile for the fogs
