The last one the mechanic put in did not list the brand on my receipt, but I could probably get the info. I do know he stated it was a high end bulb, and it did outlast either of the previous bulbs.
The silverstar bulbs are great while they work but are known not to last long. I've used them in 2 cars and was lucky if I got 6 months out of them.
