silverstar ultras - FAIL in less than a year!

[toad]

ok, i knew from the packaging that these would last less than my original bulbs and i DO like the brighter, whiter light they provide, but....c'mon!

a couple nights ago i'm pulling into the garage and notice it's dimmer on the driver's side. sure enough, the light is out.

i kept my receipt from when i bought them last december and the packaging(which i still have) says they guarantee them for 12 months. i checked their website where they direct consumers to with warranty issues, but there's NOTHING on there except product info, etc. i sent them an email and hope to hear back early next week.

anyone else have issues with these particular bulbs and if so, did sylvania take care of you?

thanks!

ps. if i could afford some sedan projectors i would get them instead, but for $50 i hoped they would last longer
