Sylvania SilverStar

I have 2006 RX-8 Base model. I replaced the stock bulb with SYLVANIA SilverStar H7 last February. Since then I have replaced each of those bulbs three times. I do pay attention that I do not touch the bulbs. Is anyone else having issues with this bulb? Are the UltraStars any better or should I be looking at the PIAA H7 as I know that they will blow again, soon. Thanks ~B

Dont get SilverStar ... they freaking whack.

I 2 H11 bulb blew out on me within 1 year ...

IF you want Quality Bulb, get PIAA, its expensive but, its worth it. (2 years still rolling)

Or just get Phillips, its cheaper, and it seems that it last longer.
