Just the other day I pulled all four of my lights and used a bit of towel
and a wire to clean out the inside of my headlamps. Makes a BIG difference.
Then, I installed a set of Sylvania SilverStar bulbs. Wow, these guys are
nice! I've never heard of them before, they run at 4000 Deg. K and at $25
each they're a big jump up from most other bulbs. Work great, and those far
no melting issues.

Lates,
