I have no complainants with the life of the bulb, I have had them on the car since i got them a year ago.

As common when you buy "high performance" bulbs, they'll usually have a shorter life span. I can personally attest to the fact that these did not last very long at all. Refer to my review. I was very, very disappointed that they didn't last a year.

Nope don't waste your money this is the second pair and about 8 months is the longest Silver star ultra is whiter and last longer so that's what I went back to

i had mine for few years and they are working Just fine. NO idea who long your EOM should be lasting.... The are not that expensive, and worth the brightness you gain in money spent... Mine are Extreme white, I am not sure what the bluer one do, or last.... good luck

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.Check out this thread on lumens output and average life: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?231144-Brightest-9007-bulb

They worked just fine in my stock ballast and ic think those are regularly 35w Cuz 55w is high beams but if you have a after market ballast it'll work fine if the ballast was 55w to my understanding I could bec wrong but it'll just last a Lil bit less longer than usual no fires or n e thing

it is very hard to say , depends on the quality of the bulbs filaments during assembly , it also depends if your vehicle suffers from voltage spikes from the alternatori got nearly 9 months out of my last set , sylvania bulbs were even worse for reliability , the only way to ensure the longest life from these bulbs is to connect a quality made DC voltage regulator between the battery and the circuit breaker

I have not used for long period. But, I hope them to last very long. Originally, installed bulbs worked for about 10 years as under cabinet lighting.

In my experience they last as long as other bulbs typically last. Mine were still working great and strong when we sold my truck.... it hadn't been years since the install but there was no sign of them going out anytime soon. (I think it had been 1-2 years since the bulb swap out from factor bulbs)

The 9003 /HB2/H4/ bulbs have both the high and low beam in one bulb. The ZXE Sylvania bulbs outlast the plain old Silver stars by about 25% and I run my headlights day and night, the main thing that you must do is to wear a pair fo Nitrile (rubber surgical gloves) when you handle the bulbs, A single Fingerprint on the surface of the bulb will create a "hotspot" that will cause an premature failure of the bulb this is true for any Halogen style bulb. I usually take a microfiber towel and clean the bulbs with rubbing alcohol before I intall them. The ZXE bulbs are noticeably brighter than the Silverstar bulbs. If you can wait for a sale on them or at least a mail in rebate it all helps.

One bulb lasted 2 years and the other about 2.5. The OEM bulbs I have back in have lasted about 13 years and are still going. They are not nearly as bright.

I am not sure how long they last as I installed them to use as reverse lights to shine on my trailer hitch and they work great. The bulb can't be replaced and if it ever blows you will have to replace whole light.

These bulbs were much brighter than my old ones, not sure if they were original factory or not. These lasted me 25 months (2 years and 1 month) surprisingly to the day. Seemed rather short lived. Installed in a 2004 Honda Civic.

They are high / low. For me the life span was about 9 months. I dont think I touched the bulb when installing, but maybe I did. Pretty bright and good bulbs, but life wasn't there for me. I got Phillips Crystal Visions now and they are fairly close for less money.My Comparison from stock to These bulbs: http://carphotos3.cardomain.com/images/0015/46/98/15656489_large.jpg?v=1

I would think as long as the wattage was correct yes.Like any light fixture you must insure the wattage does not exceed the recommended maximum. Please if you do replace the bulbs be careful to avoid possible fire. I have had mine and do not leave them run often so I do not go through many bulbs. They are the flood shape bulb and that could be an option. The stock bulbs are fragile and very light. Hope I have helped you out.

I think i had them for close to 3 years now. So far so good. They are about the same brightness than stock, with a more white color. Like what the others have said, you will need to go HID to get them brighter.

Some of the bulbs don't last long, but some last for several months. Just buy another unless you have contact info from the seller and a warranty period. Search their site for customer support. I think these are as good or better than the originals in terms of life span. I always keep a spare and when it goes into the TV, I order another one. That way I am not out of a TV awaiting shipment. The bulbs and the DLP Chip, are the negatives of owning a DLP product. The DLP chip goes bad and dots start showing on the picture and begin to multiply. You can replace the DLP chip and fix that.

BTW my bulbs have been on for 1.5yrs! I made sure I sealed my headlights when I bought my car, almost all factory lights are not 100% sealed and that leads to early bulbs death. These bulbs will not last long if your headlight housing aren't 100% sealed, these bulbs run bright and with brightness comes heat. If I had to replace these every 6 months it would still be worth it, much brighter actual white light. Don't be fooled by full blue tinted lights its a gimmick nothing more.
