:tup: Well worth the 50 bux for the pair Better than the standard Silverstars…less blue…more white light No where near HID…but for my 97 Explorer that does not deserve HID…they are a solid investment. ---

i was not happy with my silverstars… i mean dont get me wrong they were brighter than stock, but they lasted 5 or 6 months and that was it. Same thing happened to my roommates pair as well. Nice light just arnt very long lasting in my experiences. ---

Same thing happened to my roommates pair as well. Nice light just arnt very long lasting in my experiences. 100% agree… my piaas lasted 2 seasons on the bikes with lots of abuse and transfering from bike to bike ---

I got a year out of mine, that is before I crashed the car and smashed both of them. I have no reason to believe that they would not have gone much longer. I loved them. When I get enough money I’ll def buy the new ones. Just a Suggestion, If your having problems with durration of life, you should check you connections. In the socket specifically. Also check the Lense for leakage. “A wet bulb is a sad bulb.” - how lame does that sound? lol ---

Also check the Lense for leakage. “A wet bulb is a sad bulb.” - how lame does that sound? lol that would make sense…but it has to be the bulb seeing as my stock bulbs are the same ones that came with the car in 94. i just poped the stockers back in when the silverstars burned out. they are going on 13 years now. overall spending 40 bucks on them to last a year isnt practical on my college-style budget. When i’m out of school and can afford the upgrade once a year, i will prob find myself going back to them just because i did like the bulb itself, lifetime aside. ---

I’ve had no problems with silverstars on any of my vehicles. Usually the best upgrade money wise for a vehicle that’s not worth the HID upgrade. ---
