    This. Heard a lot of people talking about 6 to 8 month lifespan. Not a dealbreaker, but also not enough of a change for me to move up from stock bulbs.

    I bought 2 pairs and got expedited shipping (their regular shipping is free) for $64 and had them in 2 days. Not too shabby.

    i ran these silverstars in my subaru prior to selling it, no issues. i also ran them in my taco for 7 months before i did a retro, still no issues. i also disabled my drl, not sure that it helped or not

    I have used silverstars in everything I own for several years now, and had no problems. Seem to usually last at least a year to 18 months, maybe longer.
