You friends might be noobies or you didn't tell them they are slyvenia (SP??) silverstars, street legal bulbs! Yeah, regular blue coated bulbs burn out quickly, but from what i've heard about these, they should last you good 5-7 years!

Sylvanias are great bulbs and should last as long if not longer as stock bulbs. Technically they are halogen bulbs, not those cheap xenon filled bulbs. I highly reccomend them

Obviously your friends don't know $hit about bulbs. If you wanna see pics, do a search on SILVERSTARS and you will find pics that I took from the past.

Silverstars are the best you can get besides HID!! no bull$hiting here, just actual experience! Ebay has some if you're looking into it.

hid bulbs

Postby 99solaraSLE » Sun Mar 16, 2003 12:09 am

if anyone who decides to invest in hid systems, by personal experience you can go to www.autodirectsave.com. they sell systems that are made from Hella and ballast that are from germany. I did alot of research on aftermarket hid and these are by my opinion the best out right now. I had mine in for a year and no problems so far.
