I recently purchased a set of Silverstars for my Focus. Ive had them in for almost 2 months and one is already burned out. Has anyone or heard of any anyone having a problem with them burning out so quickly? ---

maybe you have a bit of a wiring problem in your headlight? a buddy of mine (Jeremy\_gt) has underbody neons which he looses an LED weekly due to the LEDs having to much power (needs a resitor) … ---
