jim, can I get the moto specific one at like pepboys or autozone or checker? They don't seem to do well with moto related stuff, obviously, and when I was picking up oil at cycle gear today i was in a rush and didn't even think of looking at bulbs.

I don't know why some have had problems, but I've had Silverstars in my car for about 4 years now without a burnout although the car is a summer vehicle only, stored winters. I put them in my bike this past spring and no burnouts either.
They were significantly brighter then the stock bulbs that's for sure.

I'll have to pick up a set of them, that way I have a back up just in case that I can throw in the trunk thing of my bike.

I have had them in every bike and vehicle I've owned in the past 4 years and they ARE much brighter than OEM and I've yet to have one go out.

I've had one in my bike for a year and I haven't had a problem yet, but I've had a set burn out in my car after 6 months, so I went back to stock. No problems yet.
