Boy do I feel dumb. Just checked, and the rubber gasket was still stuck on the housing. Now the bulb twists easily on.

Thanks, guys.

 

i like to know if you think the silverstars are brighter than stock???

 

I'm pretty sure they are Whiter but not Brighter! If you are looking for a Bulb that is "User Friendly" you can't go wrong with the PIAA's! Although in some cases they cost Double I have probably installed 8 pairs over the years and have "NEVER" had them burn out quickly and or fail! Just seems to be a better quality controlled product! Although some really like the HID's I prefer something that is more simple to install with instant results! Wether it's true or an old wise tail, I have heard in some instances the HID's burn hotter and can melt the Head Light Housing?
