Sylvannia Silverstar = Garbage! Help!
I replaced my stock low beams and fogs with the Sylvannia Silverstars in November. Last month one of my low beams burnt out so I replaced it. Then this morning on the way to work I notice one of the fogs is out now. I think they were defintely a decent upgrade from the stock halogens but these bulbs only have a 6 month life? WTF?
What bulbs give a good look and have a long life? Should I go with PIAA or Razo???? I don't really want to dish out the money for HIDs right now but if I keep the Silverstars I'll probably spend the same amount eventually.

hahaa i have been saying this all along, you are not the first one i have heard about silverstar blowing out left and right after months. i know there are a lot of cases where people don't have any problems, but still i do hear bad stories about them. that's why personally i never recommend these

Well I replaced my burnt out fog so we'll see how long it lasts.
I went to Autozone to buy a new 9006 bulb and guess what, it was the last one on the shelf.
A. They are real popular.
B. They burn out so quick people have to keep buying them.
