First, I’m really glad to join. My 06 “lunchbox” has over 106,000.00. Have loved every minute. I’ve tried to insert the bulb Advance Auto lists in their catalog. They seem too long and within a week, they burn out. Am at the point of grabbing one from a junkyard! Anyone have the correct Sylvania no or other co. Bulb

Welcome aboard! Have you considered that there might be an issue with your vehicle? Bulbs are pretty simple devices, and if you're burning through them quickly, there might be a power issue you're overlooking. (Unless it was an incorrect bulb)

I'd check the plug providing power to the bulbs with a multimeter, I wonder if it's putting out way too many volts or amps...? Either that or perhaps there are some lots of poorly manufactured bulbs out there, it's always possible.

Will do! Also have seen different companies seem to have different length bulbs for the same applications.

Check rubber housing behind bulbs, I burned 2 bulbs when I realized worn rubber seal was letting water and dirt into headlight. Less than $10 a pair on Amazon.
