I agree they don't last long. Save your money.

I had them in my old Saturn as well (the original stock bulbs were very yellow; looked like I had yellow fogs in), and the only times I had to replace a Silverstar on that car was twice, on the driver's side fog lamp (I think I was getting some sort of vibration that caused the filament to break). The high/low beams never got replaced after I put them into the car, and I had them in the car for 5 years. Maybe I'm just lucky with the life of the Silverstars, or you and Sonic got bad bulbs? Who knows...

I just figure the ST's dont like the Taco!

Sprzout

That's highly possible... Makes me wonder who the OEM on the headlight bulbs for the Tacomais, if they're Sylvania or another company like Hella or something.

I have them in my car in the headlights and foglights.....just clean the bulbs with rubbing alcohol before you install them and dont touch the bulbs once you clean them.....

I'vebeen usingSilverstars in my SUV for about 4 years now. My SUV's DRL's use the regular headlights but at about 40% ilumination so the bulbs get a lot of use. Yes, Silverstars DO burnout sooner than other bulbs. And in my SUV with the DRL's on full-time they last 6-12 months. But I like them enough thatI'll keep using them.

I have had the same set in my F-150 for the last 3 years with no problems.

Not sure who makes the stock ones, but it may have something to do with the Taco having sealed beam lamps instead of just the bulb replacement. Silverstars like the taste of American better than Japanese!

BTW... anyone know someone on here good with HID/Xenon retrofits that can offer some help?

I have had mine for over a year with no problems.

Had mine on for 14 months now and no problems. Found them at Autozone.
