I'm not bustin' on 'ya; but I wonder how long they'll last?

I've paid anywhere from $14.99 a set to $27.99 a set for a variety of xenon bulbs, and the longest any of them lasted was 4-5 months. I finally broke down and paid $55.00 for the PIAA Extreme White H3s (4150k) in my foglights (hopefully they'll last a while).

BTW: I put in HIDs for my 9006s (6000K) a couple of weeks ago, and there's NO comparison!

I got them on ebay, there was a dutch auction for 100 of em. I'm sure they'll be relisted.

Oh and Rick, I know they won't last that long, but that's an excuse to try different bulbs until i can afford real HIDs like your rich ass or until i buy a car w/HIDs in it already. How long do real HIDs last anyway?

I had the xenon bulbs with the blue tint from Japan. I had them for about 6-7 months before the one blew. I ordered my new blubs about 2 weeks ago online and they still havent came in. So now I look like an ass w/ only one headlight.

Far from rich!

HIDs last approx 2000 hrs. (usually the life of the car).
