Re: Just Changed all the Bulbs to PIAA !!!! Best 80 bucks I spent!!!

I can't decide between the Sylvania Silver Star Ultras and the Piaa's for my front headlights! Any suggestions or comments? I want them to be bright, but not so much that they blind oncoming traffic.

I wonder since I have a lift if I should have the light angle/focus adjusted.

Angle the mirror up so you can look behind it from the bottom. You should notice a slot just big enough for a flathead screwdriver to fit in. Put the screwdriver in and twist it, loosening the bottom clip. Then work your way up left and right.

Also, go here and scroll down to MI-9 http://brockandbecca.com/files/fj/Te...or_removal.pdf
Excellent link, thanks for the info, I am running outside to replace mine....

Yeah hero I was wondering the same thing - since I have 3" lift if I should refocus them. Nothing's worse than having a 4X4 behind you beaming right into your rearview mirror.

Love the headlight improvement, but looking for more wth the interior lites.

Agree. I love the headlight improvement a bunch. Way better. I like the inside dome light color, but would like it more if it was brighter. Seems a little bit darker now or something.

Re: Just Changed all the Bulbs to PIAA !!!! Best 80 bucks I spent!!!

Hello all, newbie here. This post is for FYI. I was installing PIA white LED in my side mirrors and the drivers side mirror came off great and back on great. Went to the passenger side in kind of a hurry and cracked the mirror. Started prying mirror off form inside of bracket instead of outside of bracket. Did not take my time and do it right and now I have to pay for it. I'm getting the mirror at dealer cost $25. Retail is $46 and of course it is on back order but should get it in a week. For all of you out there the install is easy I just was in to much of a hurry and didn't take my time like I should have. I hope this helps.

After I took off my mirrors, I put a little silicone lube on the place where it pops back in to, helped a bunch with that sickening feeling like you are going to crack it putting it back on too.
