FA22ChevelleSS Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I just got these brand new very nice silverstars... and i have no idea how to put em in. I have a 1993 and i went to go take out the old bulbs(low beams) and it looks like my battery is in the way. Do i have to remove the housing in order to put these suckers in? on the passenger side, it looks like the windshield washing fluid is in the way. What do i do?

Tyler121 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 well if yours is anything like my 94 es300 you shouldn't have to do anything but maneuver your hands carefully and pop them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfish Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 well if yours is anything like my 94 es300 you shouldn't have to do anything but maneuver your hands carefully and pop them in. It's a tight fit, You need someone with small hands. 1/4 turn and pull right out. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBLexus Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I agree with dcfish, just need to take your time and work you hands into a tight spot, a quarter turn to release, disconnect the old buld and then attach the new and place the bulb in the socket and a quarter turn. As I recall, turn left (counter clockwise) to remove and turn right (clockwise) to tighten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD SS are nice while they last, I can never get more than a year out of them. I've read several posts on SS and found the same comment. I installed mine in February and hope they last. As a precaution I kept my stock bulbs just in case. Any idea why they don't last long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will shorten their life considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suggesting that you touched your bulbs, DC, but it happens. The previous owner of my car said he had to replace the H4 fog lamps about every 3 months on average when he owned the car. He blamed his wife for them not lasting any longer. He said she always drove with them on. They were burnt out when I bought the car so I replaced them and the same bulbs are still working, a year and a half later, and I always drive with them on too... But you could be right that the SilverStars don't generally last too long.....period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
