[QUOTE="A1cntrler, post: 1026599, member: 54815"] 95% of reviews you see for the bulbs that are negative are user error. If you touch a halogen bulb with your fingers oil from your skin will be applied to the glass and cause a hot spot leading to early failure. When I was a parts counter guy at an auto parts store, I'd get a lot of returns on bulbs. Upon looking at them and speaking to the customer, I'd find that they just grabbed the bulbs and got the glass oily causing early failure. Wear gloves and if you think you touched the bulb, wipe it down with alcohol to remove oil. My Silverstars that I put in my '01 in 2001 were still burning strong in 2006 when I sold it. Put silverstars in my '07 the day I picked it up in July 2006 are still running bright as well. I know they're not as bright as new, but they're still operating well. [/QUOTE]
