Default Sylvania " Hella " H4 bulbs ??

I was in my local Advanced Auto store this afternoon, preparing to pick up
a couple new bulbs to replace the 2 year old stockers before they give-up
on their own........
The Silver Star and Ultra both show an expected life span of less than half
of their standard H4 / 9003 bulb.........
I noticed the "hella" bulb by Sylvania and started reading the description on the back side of the package........sure was tempting, but the package of 2 were just pennies under $ 50 and showed no life expectancy comparison chart....

Does anyone ride with a set of these Hella bulbs,and if so whats your take on them ??

Its OK to flame away on my headlight thread....I'm a big boy, I can handle the poking and ribbing.........I really don't want to drop a 50 spot and have the bulbs crap-out after 3 months !!!!!
I have removed the plexi glass bubble and am using the SE bezel

Thanks ya'll

terry
