Contact Sylvania about it. They may spot you one since it burned out so fast.
The rumoured quick burning out was one reason why I am holding off on putting SilverStars in....the other being the cost.

I just shredded the receipt a day ago too...damn..that was a sign I guess
I picked up a twin pack at Advance Auto for 27.99 on sale so that wasn't too bad...replaced a bit easier than I thought but still a pita...don't think Sylvania would give me the time of day without a receipt

Warranty Information
...SNIP...
Some GM vehicles apply a pulsed voltage to the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), this pulsed voltage causes LED bulbs to fail quickly, just as the stock filament bulbs also fail quickly in these DRL installations. Use in these applications voids the warranty.

Too lazy to read much of it right now but I would hesitate to buy Silverstars

i've had to replace 2 sets of bulbs in the last 4-5 months.
i first had Luminic pure blue bulbs($60). one blew and the company doesn't warrenty just one bulb. both have to blow to get a new set.
so i tossed those and ordered a set of Nokia arctic white bulbs(also $60). one crapped out on me last night.
now i have to buy another set of bulbs.
im wanting a crisp blue tint to the lights. i hate stock yellowish lights. might have to pick up a set of Silverstars tomorrow.
