Dakota Headlights

Lol, tell us how You REALLY feel Dan!! As I have worked in a body shop,that is
why I said the results were "OK" ,sometimes.Certain types of lamps are more
critical than others in faithful execution, the upshot is take Dans advice, if you're
buying buy OE. My friend who paints has polished, then sprayed clear on them
which lasts awhile.
As far as Silverstars light shifting goes, I have to believe the filtering coating
reduces the pass thru',and they try to make up for it w/a brighter element which
would explain the dramatically shorter life span. I have the extravisions in my cars
both sealed beam and capsule style, and find them superior to std. halogens,they
may not be the best but are good. The lifespan is acceptable(years in my case),
but my corolla has DRL and the jury's out on that yet(10 months so far),signage
really "pops" at nite almost too much.
Being the first Japanese vehicle I've ever owned w/more than 2 wheels,I priced
OE fog lamps, matching HL sw. etc., to install them, almost 5 bills...My cost as an
employee. Do a amazon/ebay search and you can buy a retrofit kit w/OE style
lamps,wiring,sw.& relay,w/bulbs.........$40.00!!! Really?!?
