Angry SilverStar Lights (Sylvania)

I had these lights (H1) Sylvania SilverStars in my car 2002 Acura RSX Type S. I paid like $40.00 for them. Just trying to see if anyone else has them and how they are working. They only lasted about a month and then burned out. Now I have to drop the damn bumper again just to change them out. Kinda pissed off.

Everyone I've talked to can say nothing but good about them. And why are you taking off your bumper? No need for that to change bulbs. You probably touched the bulb. Use a tissue/paper towel/small cloth of some sort while putting them in.

Ya they really do suck I have them in my car right now. I used to have these ricer ripoff $20 pair and they were actually really col looking and lasted a year. The sylvanias are so freaking dark, they barely light up the road at all.

I replaced my stockers with a set, 30 bucks on sale I think, I like them a lot better than the stock lights, had them for 6 months now, not a thing wrong with them. Hope you have better luck with them.
