I've had Silverstars and went thru one every 4 months. It makes sense that it could be a change in temperature/weather. I then bought PIAA's Xtreme white 9004 but they didn't fit my 98 Accord Coupe. The guys at OptAuto.com told me it's a common problem with that model car and PIAA's and graciously let me send it back for a full refund. Now I'm using regular Wagner Brights (stock replacements) it's been 1 1/2 years now and they are still working. Anyone have the same problem with the PIAA's? I was really excited to put them in and dissapointed that they didn't fit. What did you do?
