just got em installed last nite. they look the same! i think they only last up to 30%longer, considering i had mine for a bout a yr and a half.. its a good buy.
You have DRLs and those will reduce almost all aftermarket bulbs and IMO Silverstars aren't recommended for vehicles with DRLs. I've had my Silverstars for over two years and they're still going and I don't have DRLs.
You're lucky....or maybe you made a deal with the devil....? Woe to you, oh earth and sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
