What non stock bulbs are reliable?

Well last night my 3rd set of Sylvania Silverstars burnt out. The lowbeams go out on me every few months without fail. I really like the look of them better than the stock bulbs, but I can't afford to keep buying bulbs. What other brands haveyou guys run that last and look good? I have Luminics Ultra White in my fogs, but my fogs aren't on all that often so even though I like their look I can't tell if they're relaible and long lasting.

Well he sells those Luminics bulbs for the headlights i had them and liked them. The silverstars are a lot but the Luminics are great bulbs i liked them. Besides that you could go back to stock bulbs

I have had euro ultra brights(blue tint) for 1+yrs now, nice and bright. BUT I'm going to upgrade to hella's just because I have no driving lights and want something brighter.
