Default Bright Lights

I'm interested in upgrading the taillights and turn signal bulbs in my 87 to silverstars. The headlights and driving lights are fine, and as far as changing any of the plastic, not going to do that either.

I just was thinking of changing the bulbs to have brighter indicators for the other cars around around me. I already did this in my Lincoln for safety, and it is nice and bright, and I haven't had any fuses go or have the bulbs burn out.

Anyone do this?

On Sylvania's website it claims that Silverstar bulbs have significantly less life than many of their other bulbs. I know it won't hurt the car at all, but was wondering if anyone here had them burn out fairly often.
