What is the standard life on the Silverstars?

Ive used the hellas and silverstars (in a truck not on a bike however) but the silverstars were ten times better than the hellas imo

My only hold up is that I have read a few reviews on the Silverstars lasting around four months, all in Honda vehicles. Not to mention $36 for a pair. I can get the Hellas for $7 each, at 100/80w or the 100/55w for $10 each, with a year guarantee. I think I am going to get two of each of the Hellas, and give them a try.

Ive been running silverstars without issues in multiple vehicles with only 1 failure ever. Silverstars high and low in the bike, but considering awitching the low to H.I.D., with all the accidents lately, not only could i benefit from being seen, but the extra output at night will be nice as well.
