My OEMs burned out quickly (read: months) even with DRLs disabled. Meanwhile, my OSRAM Silverstars (clear bulb, not tinted) have lasted over two years.
The dealer is supposed to say you can't use anything but OEM parts. It's one of those little advertising gimmicks swallowed and taken as fact: that OEM parts are always best for a car. It's why insurance companies tout repair benefits where they insist on OEM parts -- it's supposed to be a good thing. And it is, if you're planning on selling the car.
