the superwhite bulbs burn just too hot and burn up the sockets and cause problems, i did the same thing when i got my SS, I bought clears and superwhite bulbs, with the daytime running lights, the bulbs are at full power almost all the time. I actually melted my first pair of clear lenses, then i got my second set. When i installed those, i found the bad sockets and changed them, thats why and when i disabled my DRLs. At that point i switched back to the clear stock bulbs. but now the clears started to leak and when the bulb would get wet, it would shatter, I finally bought a third set of diamond cut euro clears on ebay from the seller procarparts.com for like $27. When i put those in, i put in stock size bulbs but amber instead of clear. With the Benz HID headlights the amber parking lights looked good with the euro clears. Ihave had that setup for over 3 years without burnign out a bulb. So all in all, change your sockets and only use stock bulbs from now on. This problem is very common and one of the main reasons to disable the DRLs if you must use aftermarket bulbs.
