i actually havent read anything about that. from what ive read as long as you dont touch the bulb while installing they should last quite a while. but i guess time will tell.

haha. i would if i had the money brother. from what i understand they are a little on the expensive side. i just got this car a couple months ago and im trying to get all the retarted **** that was done to it fixed one at a time. its coming along pretty good. just need a few other things done and it will be pretty decent.
My brother got me some of the exact bulbs and I love them. Are your lenses hazy at all? Because when the lenses are clean the lights really shine.
Good choice and from I read I guess you can get an H.I.D kit for around $150 off Ebay.

I have had mine for about 3 months with no problems yet but as long as you keep your chicken grease oil filled fingers off of them when you install them they last for quite awhile.

Sylvania SilverStar bulbs have a very short lifetime, because the filament is overdriven to get a legal amount of light despite the blue glass.

“The Sylvania 9005 “SilverStar” highbeam bulb is advertised as making “whiter and 20% brighter” light, and this is supposed to improve the driver’s ability to use the light….What is obvious in comparing the “SilverStar” to the standard Sylvania high-beam bulb is that the SilverStar makes less light than a standard bulb. The difference at the brightest point in the beam is 77 foot-candles from the SilverStar, and 109 footcandles from the normal high-beam bulb. This equates to ~23% less light.”
Now yes you’re going to say “well I have them in my car, and they look brighter.” I had them in my car at one point in time as well. And yes I agree that they do “look” brighter. But the fact is they are not. The Syl. SS has a blue coating on the bulb. The blue coating does make the light look a blueish tint just as those “xenon bulbs.” But, basically the blue coating reduces the light output of the bulb. Remember, never will a blue or purple tint on the bulb “improve” the light output.
