Sylvania Silverstars have short lifespans?

I put in a Sylvania Silverstar recently. It burned out today. My estimate is that it lasted 1500 mi. of driving or 100 hours of use and 2 months of driving. This is abnormally short. My car is 3 years old so the original bulb lasted 2.5 years or 18,000 miles.
Does it matter if the bulbs are different models? I think not. One low beam headlight was a Silverstar and the other one was an ordinary Sylvania. It was suppose to be a test of brightness and lifespan. My stock bulbs burned out within a month of each other.
