anyone get new bulbs for their 4th gen 4runner ? i got them cheap ass ones off ebay, "DT Racing". they cost $15 for a pair of 9006 and 9005's . They look pretty good, only thing is that when it rains it will aways blow out. Any ideas why ? poorly made ? i hope PIAA's, or silverstars last longer.

 

You must not have sealed the housing properly after installing them. If they blow when it rains, there must be moisture getting in somehow.

 

but i put the stock ones back in and there is no prob. i went thru 2 sets of these DT racing ones already.

 

I put in a set of SivlerStar's and did not like them. For $25 I was hoping for a an improvemnt. They looked to aim lower and not as bright. Some others have had a much better experience with the SS's. I only did the low beams not highs or fogs.

 

Trick that I learned for BMW but it would also works on any car with 9006 bulbs. Go to Napa and get regular not blue bulbs by Wagner I think they called something like super bright $10, they actually made by Philips in Germany, you'll see the stamp on a bulb. Your Low beam is 9006 55W, get 9005 which is 65W. Inside the female connector there will be small plastic divider, take a utility knife and cut it off. Take a ruber round O ring from your old bulb and add it on top of the New bulb O ring, for better seal. Now you can use 65W bulb in your low beam. I did that to mu wife BWM 2 years ago and the bulb still works and it improved lo beam, and you wouldn't get any flashes.
