    Silverstars states right on the package the lifespan to be expected out of them.

    They even give a full warranty if they burn out before the 12 month period.

    You bought a product with a short lifespan in favor of a light output.

    Keep receipt and get a replacement or pick a stock replacement.

    If you are burning up stock bulbs then you have a issue you need to address.

    I have read on several other forums that the Sylvania Silverstars do not have a long lifespan. I have used the Sylvania Xtra vision headlights without any problems. They are brighter than stock but not as bright as the Silverstars.

    Replace your bulb sockets for your headlights. If you have a bad connection at the bulb it will cause your headlight to repeatedly burn out. Most autoparts stores carry them in stock, or if you want heavy duty go to headlightplugs.com. Headlightplugs.com have heavy duty ceramic plugs wired with up to 12 gauge wire for running higher wattage than stock( if you go with higher wattage bulbs you need to make a new wiring harness with relays, stock wiring will burn up). I hope this solves your problem.
