Silver stars = short life.
Parts guys will tell you "Read it. It's on the box".
Even if you don't touch the bulb.

I've been running SilverStars in my cages for 2 yrs now, with no problems.

Not sure how they would last on the scoot, but with the dual headlights on the RG, they are not needed

i put one in the headlight of my road king. while it was pretty bright at night, and seemed to be a good quality light, it didn't even last a year. for the short life of it, i didn't feel it was worth the cost.

Regular version of the Sylvania bulbs are an 881L. These are not the Silver Stars.
Not saying they don't exist but I have just not been able to find them around where I live in the Silver Star variety.
Come to think of it only place I found the 881L's are at a Napa store, never found them at Autozone or similar parts stores.

Tough to find those sometimes except on web or specialty shops but you are right, if you can find them get those since they are vibration resistant, so they say.

These match the Silverstar Ultra's and for a great price.
