I have had 9005 headlights in my projectors for WELL over a year now, not a single problem yet. I had a Silverstar burn out on me, but I think it was just defective. I've been using 9005 Cool Blues without a problem for many many months. It will not melt or blow up anything, I can assure you that. About the plug not clicking, you may not have shaved the guides out of the bulb base all the way down to the bottom, so the plug might not be able to seat all the way. I would check inside the bulb bases to see about that.

Had a set, got some new piaa Plasma GT's and returned the H4's I had and got my dad the right Sliverstars for his 02 Accord. He loves them.

I had bulbs. I'm just gonna get a HID kit.

I didn't pay anything for hte PIAA's (I swapped out some Razo Premium White Zero's that burned out on me a few months after I bought them (Homie hook ups are good).

HOW DOES IT WORK, DO YOU cut down the tabs on the plug or the bulb?

Those are high bulbs converted to fit in the low headlights.
