When installing them, be very carefull and DONT TOUCH THE BULB when putting them in. The oil and/or dirt from your hands will create hot spots on the bulb which will cause them to burn out a lot sooner than would otherwise be normal.

Just a thought

Yeah, it's a very good point to keep in mind when installing. It's right on the instruction sheet as well in the bulb package.

I had PIAA Extreme Whites installed on my 99 CRV when I had it... For the 2 years the PIAA ran perfect... When I traded the CRV in for the Pilot, I transferred the PIAA's into the Pilot... The passenger side burnt out after 5 months on the Pilot... So all in all the PIAA's lasted 2 years and 5 months (pretty good)... Now, with all of this low-lasting info regarding the Sylvania Silverstars, I'm wondering if there's something in the Pilot's electical that killed my PIAA's... Probably not, perhaps it really was dead...

Anyways, I was looking into getting the Sylvaina Silverstars, but after alot of feedback here and at HondaSUV.com, I decided to stay away from them... But I did buy from eBay, Sylvania's parent companies brand... The Osram Silverstars... Hopefully, these will have more success than the Sylvania brand...
