9145 for the GT or H11 for the Pony.

There are "Silverstars" which are 4000K lamps and there are "Silverstar Ultras" which are 4100K lamps. Unfortunately, the Ultras are not made in a H13 lamp (at least not previously). Stock bulbs are in the 3500K range. I have'nt researched the Night Breakers yet but I certainly encourage you to check on them. I have heard they're brighter than the Silverstars without using higher wattage and not going toawrds that disturbing blue hue. My suspicion is that they are not yet on the American market and made for Europe (Osram) but that you can get them in the states. And if they're like the Silverstar Ultra line, they may not be made in an H13.

And, guyz, if you want to lament on various lamps, let's start another thread...

16(gallons) X 3.11(/gallon) = 49.76

Some folks seem to be lacking an Owner's Guide. There are various sites where you can download them for free, but if you want the factory bound version, try http://www.helminc.com. You can even spring for the portfolio, which would run a bit over $40 with the shipping. Make sure you order the correct version (e.g. U.S., Canadian, French).

Maybe it's a dumb question, but what if you have Daytime Running Lights like myself? Can I use the Silverstars with DRL?

Anywho, those Silverstars are really starting to grow on me. Might add them to my X-mas wish list!
I just paid $3.079 per gallon of 91 octane. Car sucked up 13 gallons. You do the math.

I don't think i've ever paid under $40 dollars to fill the tank, unless its not an empty tank

Please tell me where you got a full tank for under 30 bucks. unless v6s have smaller tanks. the v8s have a 16 gal tank. 30 buck divided by 16 gals is $1.87 per gallon. Where in the US is gas 1.87 per gallon? Texas has some of the cheapest gas in the nation and we are at 2.40/gal for 87 octane.


edit did a search on gas buddy and the US average is 2.65 and the lowest is Tulsa, OK @ 2.322. So either v6s have smaller tanks which i didn't think so or you have no concept of money or gas.
