Each instance and case will vary from car to car and amount the lights are used. Many members with 96+ having DRL (daytime running lights) found the Silver Stars to burn our rather quickly. (A year or less).

This is believed to be due to DRL'*. Meaning the low beams are on constantly.
The car still runs on a 12V system 96+
Currently I'm very happy with SS'* in my 97. I did disable the DRL'* before putting them in however. It doesn't seem we can merely discount the 96+ years. Being on 100% of the running time of the car increase usage and decreases lifespan in number of days.

right but remember this....when a bulb is burned at a lower intensity than its rated for it lasts much longer that it would if it was burning at full intensity, so technically the SS would last longer in the DRL than being on at full time......something to thing about
Plus the author is asking about a 94 with out the DRL'*

No the bulb doesn't last longer if it'* used as a DRL. It'* running hours may be longer, but that'* because it'* on more of the time.
If the bulbs were IDENTICAL the bulb would go our first in the DRL.
