Low beam headlights stink
#11
H13 for your high/low and h10 for the fog light, the sylverstar r good but im thinking u might have another problem cause even when i had my stock lights i would get flashed on my low beams, u should mesure the voltage at ur socket, use a common voltmeter and find a good ground( not the one in the socket) ford have alternating ground and power, on low the far left prong should have at least 11 volts and on high the dar left and midle prong should have at least 11 volts, its normal not to have 12 v because u lose power through ur small wiring, test that and tell me what u get,

Don't forget that night driving with rain will be as dark as you will ever get. If I didn't know better, I would've said my HIDs were out last time I drove in that kind of weather.

I put in DDM H13's hi/lo and then the offset of the headlight was very noticeable. IMO HID's are the way to go if you want the biggest improvement without any high dollar or permanent applications. Very quick to install then just use a 4mm hex to adjust the headlights up and down until they look about right. Just park 20-25 feet from a flat wall or garage door on level ground. Use some masking tape so that you can tell where your beams stop (staring at them for just a couple mins while adjusting, you'll strain and it gets difficult to see the cut off clearly.) until they look about right. Go for a drive then tweak a little up or down for personal liking.

Just put silverstars in headlights and fogs, had to adjust the height just a little bit, but wow! They are no joke! I got them aimed perfectly and can't wait for some nightime highway driving with my high beams on!
I put a set in my wifes car a couple weeks ago and they made a huge improvement in her car too, that's why I figured I'd put a set in my truck, worth the 40$!, plus I got mail in rebates for 10$...

To the guys with the silverstar bulbs how long have you had them? I have been reading that they do not last very long but the people that said it had never had them installed so not sure where they are getting there info...
