Low Beam & Foglight Replacement
With our 2001 E320 4matic.....we've gone through many bulbs for low beam and fog lights buying the bulbs at the dealer. Is there any bulbs that will last longer...ie. Sylvania Silverstar H1 (Foggies) and H7 (Low Beam)? Your thoughts.
Thanks!
Thanks!

S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
I have xenon in lowbeam, so suppose to last longer than car 
I also put H1 Philips Blue Visions in foglight, suppose to last as twice as regular bulb.
I've tried Sylvania and Osram before, none last anywhere pass a year. My Philip Vision Plus H7 was fine for the 18 months that I had it (before upgrade my lowbeam to xenon).
So again: Philips Blue Vision or Vision Plus. Btw, they're much brighter too.
