Headlights

I've learned the hard way: Sylvania Silver Star headlights basically suck.

Following the previously mentioned headlight fiasco I dug into some solid facts regarding Sylvania's Silver Star headlights. In short, H1-ST bulbs have a lifespan of - take a deep breath - 135 hours. Seeing as how our low beams also function as our DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), it's no wonder they failed so quickly.

We are basically forced into using Halogen or Xenon bulbs. This is fine, really, as both are far less expensive than Sylvania Silver Stars. A set of two H1-ST bulbs cost just under $40. A set of two Xenon H1s (non-HID) set us back $12 after shipping.

We should be seeing a lifespan of about 1200-1400 hours on our low beams, minimum. This should solve the problem!
