This is correct, and my experience as well. The stock bulbs seem to work fine and last longest. Silverstars last 1/4 as longI think any bulb that will be the tiniest better won’t last as long and isn’t worth it. I have friend that changed to Silverstars and it seems like one burns out twice a year

Some of that equation might be due to the better shock dampening when the suspension is new and compliant on a new vehicle. Based upon my experience with numerous vehicles built in Japan, the OEM headlight bulbs made by Koito last much longer than aftermarket bulbs. In fact, when possible, I buy spare replacement Koito bulbs on eBay.all my aftermarket bulbs seem to have much shorter life then the oe bulb
