Yeah, so i had my Silverstars for about 6 months and they just burned out on me last night. Beats Cuzo, they burned out in 2 months:eek: . Well, I got a set of "EUROLITE Super Plasma" bulbs. They seem real good, way whiter than the Silverstars and a little purple tint. I liked them so much I bought matching fog bulbs for my OEM fogs. I got pics put I don't know how to post them, if I figure it out I will.

PS: Was 6 months good or is that horrible?

well, one of my silverstars blew out about the same time as yours. now I'm using some Polargs. IMO they are brighter and whiter w/ a small hint of blue tint. Anyways, 6 months is pretty bad.

Hoy are the polargs holding up? I dunno, i had a friend that bought PIAA's and they blew out in 7 months, so is it really worth $80? I know Polargs and Raybrigs are about the same quality and price of PIAA's. How are yours? BTW I got Polarg parking lights in amber and I love them. :)

Get some LiteGlow from Target, cost less than 12 bucks i think. Brighter than stock, and with alittle blue tint. Not DOT legal though. If it burns out, buy another for that cheap price.

Well, I've only had my Polarg's on for about month so I really don't know yet. Out of all the bulbs I've tried(silverstars, piaa extreme, el cheapo apc(free), etc...I like the polargs the best. I also got them at fairly reasonable price $60.

I have Piaa's on my car. I like them alot, the only thing was that they burned out a few weeks after one year. I contacted piaa and they said that even thought it is out of their warrenty period they would ship me a new set for free. I would recomend them to anyone.

If they're the same ones that I had, they're actually dimmer than stock.

The color makes them seem brighter, but I found that cars next to me were putting out more light than I was. I'd even watch traffic crossing in front of me at an intersection, and I'd swear up & down that I could see the light coming from cars next to me than my own headlights.

Too bad, too, because I liked the blue-whitish color.

15 months so far with my Silverstars.
Now that I've posted they will probably blow.
