Part of the problem is the Silver Stars themselves.
Yes they are brighter, but it is a result of higher resistance inside of the bulb created to cause the bulb to burn brighter.
Our 9006 low beams only have 1000 lumins, so technically speaking they suck!
They are listed as 55 watt bulbs and the Silver Stars have 65 watts, as I remember.
A new connection mil spec soldered in and properly insulated is a must first!
PS;
If you installed a set of HIDs, a 5000K, 9006 replacement would use much less power, only 35 watts and give 3000 lumins.
Three times the light output with less energy used, and less heat generated.
