Stop using the Silverstars and just use the standard GE bulb.

Silverstars have worked fine for me. Check the current and voltage at the sockets, you may be getting too much.

dont buy cheap enclosures?

or maybe seal them up with some silicon?

Re: damn blinkers please help...

i was thinking about putting small holes in the top and bottom of the housing so it could drain and air would rush in and out of it to help keep it cooler but i think i will try the silicone first
