    I would disable the DRL's, otherwise they will burn out faster. Also, the wires for the headlights are somewhat undersized from what i have read. They can't really handle too much power.

    Look here for instructions:

    The DRL system uses the low beam bulbs, but supplies them with a reduced voltage when the DRLs are on. So yes, they will burn out quicker, but not alot quicker.

    yea the thing is my corolla is on a lease...and whether i buy it out after three years remains to be seen.....the guy at pep boys said that the DRL are the parking lights that are on not the actual headlights so the silverstars wouldnt be affected....i dont know if hes full of shit or what though...

    This is a quote from Sylvania.......The life expectancy of a SilverStar halogen light source is dependent on the driver’s use of the lights, which vary by season, time of day and number of miles driven. We estimate the SilverStar halogen lights to have a life span of up to one year under average driving conditions.
