US Spec Silverstar and Silverstar Ultra's also last a heck of a lot shorter lifespan wise than most PIAA bulbs (though there are some PIAA bulbs with shorter life than Silverstar Ultras.

I'm not bashing the Silverstars, but I wanted to point out some people may not like the shorter lifespan, and in the end, since you have to replace the bulb sooner, costs even out at the very least.

Also, PIAA's always had a 1 year warranty, something Silverstars don't have. There's more to a purchase than just price
