These haven't in 6 months.
I have had Those in my Highs, Lows, and Fogs, and the chrome bulbs in the Turn Signals, all for 6 Months now and no problems.

If you're fogs use the 880, their are no good options for bulbs but stock. I've tried them all, Nokya, Wizard, Eurolite, SilverStar, etc and they all burned too hot and melted the housing or blew within weeks. The best were the Silverstars but the fact that they needed to be replaced every 4 weeks sucked.

I have the Silverstar 9006's(4 of them) for the projectors and a pair for the fog light bulbs. I would definitely buy them again..

You guys, if the bulbs keep burning out, try putting some dielectric grease on the base of the bulbs and stick them in there. A small tube is like $1.XX at Pepboys. I'm still on my amber Silverstar DRL bulbs I've had for 6 months. If it still doesn't work for you, oh well, you're only out $1
