I was driving around tonight, stopped at Sonic, and when I got ready to leave, I noticed one of my headlights out. Oh GREAT I've only had the Silverstar 9005's for about 4 months and one of them is already out on me. Luckily I had a spare 9006 to stick in there to get me home. I don't get it, either, the only time that bulb has come out since I converted them was when I removed that headlight housing to dry it out. The bulb was never touched or anything. In fact, it was just the filament itself that broke, no exploding or anything. So I'm contemplating whether to drop another $25 on another SS bulb (and have one new one and one 4-month old one), or maybe just put my old 9005 Cool Blues back in there (used them for 8 months w/o problems). My next mod I have decided will be HID anyway, but that will not be for many many more months, after I pay off the car and pay off some of my credit card, etc. Thoughts?

 

i've been using my stock headlight bulbs for more than 8 years now.. aftermarket bulbs never lasted more than 4 months..

 

I'm on 2.5 years with my modded 9005 cool blues.
