Ive hears that the silverstars burn out after a couple of months, Adam let me know if they last a while, if so I will pick aup a set.

When Silverstars first came out I tried them and loved the light output ... but they did in fact last only a couple of months (that was then, don't know about now) and after putting up a big stink about it CT gave me new ones ... then I went through another set at my own expense and gave up on them.
I then bought the PIAAs which at least came with a one year warranty and same thing with them ... went through 3 sets in a year (they didn't melt any wiring though) ... I gave up on them after the third set blew and I had no warranty left.
The Silverstars have since come down a bit in price IIRC, but I'd have to be really convinced that they last as long as OEM before I invest in them again.
