Ya know, I hear that a lot from people...that they dont last.

I have them in my accord. I went through 3 sets (they were blowing in about a month) before I finally got to the ones I have now. Have had them for almost a year with no problems.

One thing you should do is go buy them at Wal-Mart and return the old ones.
When they kept blowing that’s what I did. I figured they are under warranty anyway let Wal-mart deal with them.

thats a good idea, surely it works because they don't check on shit.

Yeah, my silverstars lasted about one year. That's all they are designed to last, really. My headlights are on all the time, and they both blew pretty close to each other, time-wise.

It's hard to match the quality of those; I noticed a HUGE difference when I switched. I'm using sylvania cheapys now, and its a definate down-grade.

I dont have much look with aftermarket headlight bulbs lasting to long.. Its always the driver side that burns out.

I'm still running stock taillight/turn signals from 97 though!

sometimes your car is giving the bulb to much wattage. cuasing the bubls to burn up faster. just an idea.

i never own them but have thought about getting them. but now i cant. damn those JDM headlights.

They just burn out. There is a warning on the package stating that.
