I've tried the Silverstars and they definitely are brighter and whiter, but the life is just dreadful.

When I still had the Volvo with its forty-leven bulbs at each rear corner, that was a fast ride to the poorhouse. But now with the tax refund in the bank and a juicy gift balance on Amazon (TurboTax gimmick and YES I LOVE IT), I think it's time to spring for some LEDs in the brake lights at least. Redpoint 5's comment of the extra distance that comes from faster time to full brightness is not lost on me when I'm already one of the slower vehicles on the road.
