I've had Silverstars and Nighthawks. I won't buy another set of either. I've been running the Silvania Xtravision from CTC. About $14 a bulb, they last longer, and are the same brightness as Silverstars, just not as white.

Keep in mind Silverstar and Silverstar Ultra are two different bulbs. Ultras have a longer guarantee, and they have a stronger filament so they don't die as quick. They are also sold in pairs (as they should be), so you have to replace both at once.

Nighthawks burnt out on me in 6 months in the Focus... Never again!

The Philips from Costco will be my next ones.
