crazy thread...i just returned home from kragen with new bulbs because my headlight silver stars went out within a week of each other....they're possibly 6 months old...and one of my fogs went within a month of puttin them in...> SILVER STARS SUCK THE ROYAL DICK!!!!

 

Forget about those ricer bulbs. Just get some HID.

 

ditto

 

if only HIDs were 30 bucks

i'm still thinking if i should buy them for my high beams

 

The sylvania xtra brights or whatever are cheap, and work really well. They give a whiter light than regualr halogen, and are actually brighter.

you can also try HELLA bulbs.

those Osram Silver Star H4 are only like $20 shipped from the UK....can they really be that good????

 

another thing to look at is how often you drive with your lights on, it shouldnt make the difference between 4 months and 1+ years.

 

^^^maybe that would explain it cause I never turn my lights off since they auto off when the key is out. but I did the same thing with the stock bulbs.....

 

Yes! They are more yellowish, but put out more light and last a whole lot longer than the Sylvania's.

 

I got the Osrams about a month and a half ago... still working good... they sent me free corner lights to match them as well...

we'll see how long they last.

 

aww man, I got them two months ago... I hope they'll last longer than 4 months...

 

heard those are pretty good and lasts long. and yea i also heard that the sylvania silverstars have short lifespan too. never actually experienced any of this, but this is what ive been hearing

 

I must be in the minority. I've had Silverstars for nearly 3 years with no probs. Now I've jinxed myself.
