CL tail/parking bulbs longest lasting ever?

I just realized that the bulbs in my backup, tail and parking lights are all most likely original from 2001.

I purchased the car used in 2003 and, as of yet, have not had to replace any of those bulbs! The only bulb i ever replaced was my drivers side HID and both driving lights. I'm assuming the original owner wouldn't have had to replace these bulbs between 01-03.

Though this was interesting...all of the other cars I have owned, I would have to replace these bulbs often...

Just thinking out loud here...
