I use my headlights for probably an hour or two a week. Does anyone else use theirs about this amount? If so how long have they lasted?

I have used them about 5 hours a week and it has been 2 years and 9 months; they are still working. Just remember when installing them wear gloves.

11 months for me, then one of the low beams burned out.The low beams are daytime running, they are on whenever the car is running.

I use these every night, on 500 lumen, for about 7 minutes. They last about 2 weeks on average. Same with other brands. The other settings will work a while longer but I need the bright light.

I've never timed it, but I've never noticed a long lag in them warming up, so I'd say not long at all. I haven't had onex, but these are extremely bright. Bright enough that I'm sure it bothers people who get my lights in their eyes. The only thing that matters to me, is how long these last. I had to replace my first ones (not maxlux) after 6 months. I've had these for a couple years already.

So far I use it every couple of weeks but a couple of months ago I replaced the headlights on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica and I don't want them to go bad as before so I probably overdue it a bit but it takes so little of the product I don't care.

I just looked into normal bulbs vs XtraVision bulbs. The normal bulbs have a lifetime rating of 1100 hours specified on the package. The XtraVision bulbs listed 160 hours as the rated life. Just doing the math, if I have to commute home from work after dark, which is a 45 minute drive, 160 hours works out to about 42 weeks, or less than a year. The normal bulbs would last 5+ years. Having slightly brighter headlights in exchange for vastly more maintenance seems like a poor tradeoff for most people. I see the Amazon description says the life is 850 hours, which is not what the package says.

They last quite awhile actually. I change mine out weekly, even though I never see more than minor wear on them.

I have had mine for some time now and I run with headlights on a lot for added safety.Check my Comment earlier for actual date of install.I have had the Sylvania and YES they do wear out pretty quick.But they also work pretty good while they last.

Im planning on polishing my headlights soon because they look really bad. Ill try wiping them down with the wax to see what it does and ill get back to you.

Well, I've used it 3x. Total headlights = 10. I expect to use it 2-3 more times this summer. Hope that helps!

In all reality it comes down to what hid set up if you have zenon stick with zenon I tried a lot of different bulbs and I got like maybe 200 hrs out of them , so instead I bought the ones actually ment for my hid set up and they are still doing almost 1 year now and there still bright ,

I had these last a little over one year (roughly 22,000 miles). My car uses the low-beam 9007 filament to power my day time running lamps so it's literally on all the time. Much better than most of the other Sylvania bulbs I have tried in the past. Totally worth it to have the brighter output on the road. Saved me a few times by being able to see deer on the side of the road before they jumped in front of me.

These bulbs are rated for 8000 hours. About 1 year of you leave them on 24/7. I wouldn't recommend them for daily use, though; the ballasts seem to be VERY fragile - we've had a number of them, (the ballasts) just burn out after less than 10 hours of use. Other than that, I love 'em.

I have had for half a year. I don't leave the light on very long so I can't truthfully answer.Love them,though!

I own 2 pair and wear one at least 2x a week -- my headlights show even through padded bras :( I bought the first pair about 2 years ago and the 2nd about a year ago. It is time to buy another pair; I can tell they are starting to not feel quite the same. In other words, they re-use quite well!
