ive had both piaa and silverstars. i gave the silverstars to my dad after i sold my 6th gen accord and he had the same problem (cold weather scenario) with the bulbs blowing. my piaa's i had for over a year and had no problem. i gave those to my sister when selling my 5th gen accord and they blew a few months after the switch over. they were the piaa platinum super white. they were an extremely white light, no hint of yellow or blue. only draw back was the price.
