Headlights

Just bought some Sylvania Silverstar Ultra headlight bulbs today. Anyone else using these? How do you like them? Any issues as far as excessive current draw when they are on? I have seen other lower quality light bulbs draw so much current that the wire harness melted. Don't really feel like replacing a wire harness.

I put these same bulbs in my truck and haven't noticed anything different except they are brighter.

Had them in for a couple of months now. I didn't like the shortened life span projection but what the heck. They work better then the stock bulbs...

Thanks for the responses. The shortened life span is one thing I'm worried about. They are guaranteed for 12 months I think...after that, you're on your own. I'm going to throw them in this weekend and see how they do.

Thanks again!
