DONT buy Sylvania Silverstar bulbs!
For my birthday back in august (just 4 months ago), my friend got me a set of sylvania silverstars for my 04 wrx. well, 3 days ago driverside low beam bulb went out, and just today the passenger side bulb died as well. yep... great product sylvania, you lasted me a whole 4 months. as soon as it stops raining, im putting the stock bulbs back in. (also, when i installed them i was very careful not to touch them on the glass part because i know that the finger oils can destroy bulbs)
YOU SUCK SYLVANIA SILVERSTARS!!!!!

Sylvania Silverstars suck... they have to overload the filament to overcome the loss of light due to the stupid blue coating. If you want quality, buy the euro-spec Osram Silverstars. Superior light output, no blue poser tint, and they last forever. I bought mine here.

do you still have you day time running light function working?
that might be the problem or it might be that your cranking over the engine to start it while the lights are on... those juice shortages put alot of stress on high end bulbs
