SilverStar ZXE headlamps
Does anyone have any long term experience running the ZXE Ultra headlamp bulbs? Silvania technical support tells me that they do not run any hotter than standard bulbs. But I am concerned about the dreaded headlight burning issue.

I don't, but I've had lots of experience with Osram Nightbreakers - and they're absolutely fantastic.

+1 Pilut2. Am looking at them as I type this response scratching my beard wondering if I should get them. Hopefully somebody has experience with these. They get good reviews. They make an entire series of these. Some brighter white, then the standard yellow ones similar to what I have. Check out this link. Good info:
