in my experience, silverstars are overpriced....you can get almost any other aftermarket halogen bulb for half the price and itll do the same job

i had 4 sivlerstars (not ultra's, granted) in my matrix (lows and fogs) 3 of 4 burnt within 2 weeks of each other after 10months of use

good luck with yours...

if they are burning out its because you got the oil from your fingers on the bulb. Any halogen bulb will burn out after 2 weeks if you get any fingerprints whatsoever when installing.
