On the connectors inside of the hole used to connect the bulb to the car.

Nice but I think you can do better. Check out this site on PIAA bulbs....yeah, they cost more but give double the light or: 55 = 110 watts. I have them installed in my IS250 and also in my former C-230 Mercedes. Had them four years and never a burn out. Love um..

Just another way to go... I have the low beam bulb H11

Actually the projector style is preferred for HID due to the ability to more accurately direct the light. Get yourself a HID kit, many here have done the kit conversion and had absolutely no issues, I was absolutely amazed at the difference.

I had Silverstars before on my Integra. One of them burnt out after about 8 months, so I just went back to the OEM bulbs.

I'd highly recommend them if you are looking for a whiter brighter light than your stock beams.

If you are still debating and want to see them in action, let me know and i'll take some pics.

id like to see these in the fog lights.
