Yes.

It could be crossed wires too, or even a faulty bulb..

I'm no longer a fan silverstars. they blow out in about 4-6 months. I switched back to OEM bulbs after going thru 2-3 set of silverstars.

i must have had the freak, my silverstar 9005 conversion didn't blow for the 2 years i had them in.

it's probably water condensing onto the bulb. how would his wires be crossed if he never touched them?

I had the same experience... Well, I'm actually trying Xtravisions... and they appear good so far.
