I only drive for about 5-10 minutes and then turn the car off (across town to campus). It was even colder than -20, thank god for Mobil 1 synthetic. I drive at 5:30 in the morning several times a week so there is no doubt that my lights were getting used through that entire cold spell. My sylvanias are just fine, but I am using them in the lowbeam. Maybe some of you guys are burning them out as highebeams? I don't really know why you are all having problems, I think they are good bulbs.
i have phillips blue vision for my h1's.. it's been a long time since i replaced them and i had no problem with them at all.. i've bought shiet load of pairs of h1 bulbs and these are the best of all.. i don't think i will ever have to replace them unless i wanna go HID.. =)

Soundsl like I could use these until I get projectors.
Vision PLus's here too. Love 'em. Been in for about 1.5 years. They are whiter than my fogs so one day i will get around to amtching my fogs to them.

ill do a special for 35 shipped for 1 pair of h1's
they are a purplish white color and usually last quite a while
ive had a set for 8 months now with no problems
I'm running Phillips Blue Vision for my low beams and Phillips Vision Plus for my highs. I've been running the same two pairs for about a year now, however, i installed these wearing latex gloves to avoid finger oil residue (which i believe is the cause of many bulb burnouts, the oil heats up to extremely high temperatures and the glass can't handle it...right?) The light production is great for both but i see everything through 35% tint so it looks almost as bright as stock for me. The bulbs were definitely worth the 70 bucks i dropped on em
