what did you pay for them? I thought xenons are HID's? Are these just imitation regular bulbs? If so you get what you pay for. I use to work for a shop and never saw aftermarket lights other then piaa's last longer the a few months if that.

Nokyas look great but both myself and my Honda friends have found the higher wattage tends to burn out the drivers side light more often (every month or two) but the passenger side will last a long time. Might just be coincidence, could be how they are wired.
