The one thing that some Silverstar owners have had in the Focus is the wiring harness and/or housing melting. I'm not sure about the Contours, but as with anything that uses a higher wattage than originally specified, you do run the risk of that happening.

As for other stuff getting warm, I think that happens with a lot of Ford cars. Our Topazes and my Focus get warm around the climate control and radio areas when the headlights have been on for a bit.




Thats weird about the harness melting. The Silverstar should not do that. All it is is a Xtra Vision bulb with a light blue tint. Should not draw anymore than a standard bulb. Weird.
