i bought some cheap ones off of ebay. they have lasted since march.

 

HOLY CRAP! shock.gif :roll:
Yeah I'd return the damn things

 

Yup! That's what I always do now. Haven't had any issues with my bulbs blowing since doing that. *knock on wood* But I've gone through about 5 pairs of bulbs in about a year. :x One of these days, I'll actually order a set of HID's. Just need to determine which ones are the best, and I want to see how some 2nd gen's look first with before getting buying an HID kit.

 

:roll: some of us aren't able to get prices on HID's... :?

Java, what brand of bulbs do you have?
I've been lucky. The first 2 years I had my tib I got new bulbs every month or so... but since my last accident I had to get my headlights replaced (last December - 10 months ago!) my bulbs haven't blown out yet, I just wish I knew what kind of bulbs they were, they don't say. (nok on wud)

And about the 20 seconds.. I do that everytime, because I use the remote starter while walking to my car and by the time I turn on my headlights it's been about 20 seconds, so maybe that's helped...

 

i never do that 20 second thing.hmmmm. :?

 

I'm not sure, I have never had to change them since I bought it in May of 2002.

 

HIDS....HIDS....must get HIDs.....!!

 

if you don't like the silverstars, give the cool blues a try, i have had a set of them in for almost six months. they look good. and no their is no blue tint to the light at all (don't worry about cops). however i plan on taking them out and going with gold bulbs. u no, just be different. now i just have to get my freinds fiance to go look at the state vehicle code when hes at work one day. I can't go myself, olny allowed to drive to and from work right now, sucks but i make the best of it.

 

How do you find the cool blues? I got a set as part of a promotion at a local speedshop, but I haven't installed them yet. From everything I have read, blue light bulbs don't provide as good a light on the road as "normal" bulbs.
