Th Silverstars I own as well as the CrystaVision are the European Standard.. not North American. They do not fall into the category which I have also read about and thank you for bringing it up for everyone as well. The cheap or knock-off brands not PIAA, SilverStar, Nokya or Philps have these problems.
The difference in the European vs American is the brightness... the American ones are weaker and DOT Compliant... the European ones are well let's say standard and exceptable in Europe... But heck if I am stopped ... they look the same! LOL
I love them and glad that I replaced them

The other bulb burned out in 6 months but when I went to replace it, the blue tint flaked off leaving blue flakes and chips inside my headlight enclosure.
The Silverstars look to have the same blue tint on them but I've never tried them so I don't know if they have the same problem. I currently use the high output bulbs from Sylvania, which have a clear lens. While the light is not as white as the Eurolite, I know they won't flake off when they burn out.
