when i lost 1 headlight bulb i replaced both with the silverstars. i wore rubber gloves to install them (yes, i keep rubber gloves at my house. right next to my duct tape and plastic sheeting muwahaha).
i really liked the change in the lighting and felt i could see better at night. but...they lasted like 6 months and that is way too much money to have them not last.
i just put the cheapies in there now and keep my foglights on for added night visibility (go ahead and yell).
