I Bought a pair of 9006ST's (Silverstar) for my '98 CL and they SUCK. I bought them from AutoZone on Sept 6, 2002 and by Dec 12th one had burnt out - followed by the second a week later! I only found out about the first one by getting a ticket (my fogs picked up the slack).

Anyways, Sylvania sent me a free pair b ack in December. I noticed last week that both of my headlights were out again - my second pair burnt out! I called Sylvania and without me saying anything they just asked an address to send me a check for the cost of the bulbs. I've put my stock bulbs back in, it ain't worth the trouble.

4 bulbs in nine months is a bit much.

 

By any chance, when you're putting the bulbs in, do you touch the bulb with your hands/fingers? If so, that could be the reason for it blowing out so soon. If not...

 

i have had my silverstars since like november of last year.. im very satisfied.. and mine are still going strong! you must have touched it with your fingers.. they are the brightest bulb you can get without gonig xenon or HID.. my next step is HID when i come up with the 500$ heh..

 

I've had my silverstars going for almost a year now with no problems...

 

me too, 6 months and no probs in my subaru

 

I've had mine for 4 months and no problems. Yeah you might have touched the glass when you installed that could be the problem.

 

nokya artic whites...7 months still strong

do they look sweet?

 

the Nokya is the best looking lights for the price...i haven't heard anything bad about nokya yet....one of my Nokya burnt out last month but i'm very happy with it. Its been working hard for over a year and a half. White with a slight tint of blue, look very sweet.

 

clstyle, out of all my friends i like mine the best nice white light with that sweet blue tint. 30.00 for them. when i borrow my friends digi ill take pics, they match my hyperwhite corners perfect.

 

i noticed that when i had my nokyas (burnt through 3 sets in about 1.5 years) the light was tinted quite blueish, that is, until one of them burnt out and fried the headlight housing. after that, the light was just a bright white. then the other bulb did the same thing, and both of them were just white, no matter what bulbs i used. i think out of all the lights i had used, the raybrigs were my favorites, although a tad pricey. i woulda gotten them again if they made a 9007 bulb.

 

I didn't touch the bulbs. None of the four bulbs ever had a bubble or shattered. Every time the filament inside just burned up. I sent them back the bulbs for my refund - I'd think if it were something as obvious and a huge bubble from me touching it they wouldn't have refunded the money.

Sylvania blamed it on my driving habits... I usually have to drive to the other end of ohio about 500 miles round trip in the dark every week, but wtf my stock bulbs have been doing that for years. Sylvania says they have only a years life under average driving conditions in the FAQ on their website - it should say that shit on the packaging - I would have never bought them.

 

I got mine for a while so, they much brighter than stock. Did u try cleaning the area? Maybe your connections aren't too good and causing a spike to pop ur filament.
