Get those LED cluster bulbs.


A friend of mine put Silverstar Ultra bulbs in his Intrepid and there was a noticeable improvement over the stock halogen bulbs, but then he got 4300K HIDs and said he'll never go back to halogen lol.

I went to Pep Boys and in their (what i call the rice section) with all the LEDs and such they sell a 168 bulbs I forget the name, (it has some Asian writing on it and starts with an "n") the color is Hyper White I think. They are near the brand that is Pilot that has all the LEDs and such. They are not LED though. I love them, worked well with my 5000k HIDs. LED would be better, but I have been having trouble with my LEDs burning out inside my car so I didn't bother.

The cheap ones will, but that's why you don't buy the $.50 single LED ones. I've had my 5LED cluster bulbs in for over a month and haven't had a problem, and I never turn my headlights off.

____ty cell phone shot, but the 5LED cluster bulb is on the left, and my crappy single LED bulb is on the right. I switched to the 5LED's because one of my single LED bulbs went out. And the single LED ones were as bright as the stock driving lights, just to give you an idea of how bright the 5LED ones are.
