Dont buy silverstar ultra headlights!!! They actually put light a lot farther down the road but they are so expensive and they dont last long at all! I just bought the cheap GE ones at walmart and I bet they will last a good long time 3-5 years. I was talking to the guy at a local auto parts store and he claims that the silverstars only last about 6-12 months average from what his customers say and he also claims that after about 6 months they are faded back to normal halogens anyway. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Well known fact already. Look into the Phillips bulbs instead.

They produce no more light (lumens) than standard halogen bulbs anyway. Just a whiter colored light.

I had the same experience except I was usings fords technique of using the high beam bulb for the low beam. The bulbs would last roughly 8 months and would put out a great amount of light but it just got to be too much of a hassle.

I've had silverstars in my mazda3 since I bought it new in 2004 with no problems.

I used them in my Jetta and never had a problem but in my wifes 07 Altima they were blowing out every 3 months. Do yourself a favor and buy an HID kit for $80 and be done with it!!

I went through the Silverstars in less than 6 months. I got sick and tired of sending them back for new ones so I switched over to PIAA Xtreme White Plus and have not looked back. They work even better than the Silverstars and so far have lasted over a year with only 1 bulb change.

OEM parts

I was having the same issue with the bulbs until I did some reading and found that OEM bulbs will last a lot longer. I called the dealer and the bulbs are way cheaper from Honda $8 Bucks Cdn. Now that I have switched back they have lasted over a year.
