Thanks BUCK! I'll try to find some this weekend. I'm guessing I can find them at my regular auto parts store since that is where I found the regular silverstars. I'll check it out

Last time I checked Sylvania's website the Ultra's were not available for either the 9008 (H13) or the 9140 (round fog light housing).

I think if u want HID lighting u should do it right and get HID housing so it distributes the light the way it should be. Just My opinion and preference as I hate being blinded by people who couldn't care less. I have actually turned on my KC offroad lights at people with HID conversions that were outrageously blinding...I can play that game too

LMAO!!! I had a guy coming at me with his Offroad lights on last night so I played that game and turned on all my lights which even the auxillary lights are HID and are "F"ing bright... No lie, he pulled over... turned his off, but pulled over...LMAO

I vote for the philips extreme. They are a +80 where as the available sylvania is whiter but only +15 or 20 in the brighter scale. I bought them both and now have the plus 80's in, I wish Osram made the H13's in the night breaker series for these trucks. I have them on my motorcycle, and they are definitely brighter. As far as the fogs lights, I run the 9145 sylvanias, they are brighter, but the reflectors are junk on the 08 and it only lights up right in front of the truck.

See thats proof right there that HIDs in non HID housing blinds other drivers. That kind of **** would have me getting violent. Thats ****ing with peoples safety on the road which I take personally when it affects my family and my safety.
