I saw those at the mall one day. I looked at them long and hard, but Googled failures with that bulb company and there were TONS.
Apparently, according to one of the Foci sites I was on a while back, there are Sylvania Silverstars (crap) and Osram Sylvania Silverstars (much better).
One of my Silverstars popped after 10 months, the other was still going. I yanked them both and have had Eurolite H4s in for about 4-5 months now, maybe a bit less.
PIAA has a strong backing, but they're also twice the cost of the already pricey Sylvania Silverstars. That's like 120 CDN before taxes. Ouch.
It might be an idea to consider a HID upgrade kit or switch to one of the HID / projector sets mentioned above. Otherwise, get a medium-cost bulb that lists and is verified as "brighter" than stock.
I will agree that the stock bulbs blow goats.
