Hid conversion. Xhotelcrazyx has a YouTube video of the install. Their simple cheap and can do yourself with limited tools. On regular bulbs you have to watch heat output. The bulb is in a projector more heat = less life. Also pay attention to wattage. To high you'll melt wires.

OP drives a 2013 FL model, if he's asking about replacement bulbs one can assume he does not have OEM HID's which means he does not have projectors. By throwing in PnP HID's kits into his reflector based lights he'll just go around glaring everyone coming in the opposite direction.

I have Silverstar ultra bulbs. Good light and color, but life has been short....about 6-7 months.

I agree with Knightmare the Osram are great and the price is good check out the new Osram: http://store.candlepower.com/osram.html. And they are only $33 for a pack of two.

Osram NightBreaker "Unlimited" Ultra High Output +110% H7 bulb puts up to 110% more precision-focused light on the road ahead, while maintaining stock 55w power. Crystal-clear bulb glass in the primary optical zone for maximum output, with a cobalt-blue tinted peripheral glass for 20% whiter light without the reduced intensity common to other extra-white bulbs. 3600K Color Scale. Manufacturer claims up to a 15 yards longer beam length than an original bulb.

You have a 08 which is pre FL, I specified that the OP had a FL model. Are you just trying to boost your post count?

No. What do I care about post count. It's a valid question and didn't realize there were differences like that.
