lasted 20 months

The factory headlight bulbs lasted over 10 years before the first one stopped working. I bought the Silvania H11 and replaced the set together. The first one stopped working after 20 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ADVICE FROM AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP
on March 5, 2025
Posted by: AUTO SHOP OWNER 48 years
from Boulder, Colorado
Sylvania Silver Star Bulbs are very short in life, and very short in performance. Slick Marketing Sylvania, with the Silver Star Packaging and the tinted blue glass capsule. Daring customers to purchase a premium product image and claim with pricing to boot, but all who get duped are just going to be disappointed with the incredible short life and unremarkable increased performance. Do not buy them again. Do not cash in on a warranty. Do not support this particular line the Silver Start bulb. You would think a company like Sylvania, would improve this product, make it superior and stop non-sense like this. But no, they choose to carry on and profit and provide a lip service that is old and tired. I replace a lot of headlight bulbs for my customers at my small little auto repair shop. The most recognized headlight bulb of failure I replace is the Sylvania Silver Star. And to my customer's amazement they are surprised it is a bulb that is failed for they just bought new bulbs themselves or had another replace them for themselves, OH so recently. The claim they have an electrical issue, but no, almost never a wiring issue just another SILVER STAR gone Super Nova and being a black hole in the customer's wallet. A good quality bulb will last meany years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for contacting us, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Since we have designed our SilverStar® and SilverStar® ULTRA headlights to be brighter and whiter, they have a shorter life span compared to our other products due to the high light output filament. Our 12-month warranty was designed with these factors in mind to offer warranty replacements/refunds should the lamps fail within a year's time and meet the needs of our consumers. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us so we can assist you further. 1-800-729-3777.

Worst Lights I Have Ever Purchased
on February 10, 2025
Posted by: SiouxMe
from Easy Grand Forks, MN
Purchased and installed 6-20-24, but went out within days of each other (2/8/25 and 2/10/25). Lights on the vehicle these were in are a pain to change, and had to perform at -5 degrees outdoors. Not only do I want my money back, I want this company to cover the frostbite I incurred to replace these dang things. The previous lights lasted from 2016 to 2024. These ones didn't even last 8 months...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
