I can now officially add that buying these can be a major GAMBLE.

I bought a pair at Western Auto/ Advance Auto Parts (in PR they didnt change the name yet) for $26. Shortly after picking them up I read somewhere on here that they may have longevity issues comparing to the real-deal Osram Silverstars.

The 1st one blew 2 weekends ago and I just put in a Phillips standard one cause I was in hurry to leave. I thought well let me keep the remaining Silverstar in to see how it would hold up; besides the 2 colour temperatures combined nicely:D .

This set lasted from August till now. Well the "stronger one" did.

blah blah - end of rant.
