How long do they last? I have had Nokya bulbs last 4 months and Sylvannia last 6 months. I want something that will last longer than that

Make sure when installing bulbs, it is important NOT to touch the bulb! Oil from your finger will burn on bulb and make it fail prematurely. Also make sure there is no moisture in head light assembly, it will get on bulb and make it blow out and moisture will start making rust. Also, you must use electric grease on electric headlight connector for good contact and to prevent corrosion so headlight connector will not melt the ground terminal from a poor connection. Following those precautions, the bulbs should last a few years! I have had them for a while and am very happy with them! Good Luck.

They last about the same. Maybe 6 months at most according to my experience with my Ford expedition

Hi. Put them in days after buying and after a lot of night driving no probs at all. Might suggest that if you are having problems with bulbs blowing may be something electrical with car?

Hi Jeffrey, I haven't had to replace mine yet. I still have the original ones I bought in May of 2013 (1.5 years), about 20k in miles on the car with about a 1/3 of them at night.

I've had mine since Feb/2014, not issues so far. Be sure to wear latex gloves when installing to avoid getting oils/dirt on the bulbs.I've mentioned in my review, they are a little brighter, but don't expect HID brightness.

I think that the bulbs will last a long time and you won't need to replace them any time soon. I do know that it is 100% lifetime guarantee on them. I believe that the company would replace them should anything go wrong or they stop working. You might want to check with the company on what their guarantee is.Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

Good question, I don't know . But I thought the bulbs were supposed to last for a very long time.

Bulbs still working fine for me - 3 months use. I bought some before and they are 2 years old and still working.

Amazon sells the replacement bulbs. The bulbs last quite a while. I keep my lamps on for up to 12 hours a day and haven't had to replace a bulb yet in the 6 months that I have been using them.

Sorry, can't help you. Haven't looked into that yet. I've been using mine A LOT since last summer -- about seven months now, of fairly heavy usage, and the bulbs are still as bright as ever. I do look forward to finding out about replacements eventually, though.

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)

I use these every night, on 500 lumen, for about 7 minutes. They last about 2 weeks on average. Same with other brands. The other settings will work a while longer but I need the bright light.

If you expand the Product Description, you'll clearly see the following: Substantially longer lifespan (a minimum of 22.8 years at three hours a day of usage) Note: The bulbs are not replaceable, but 22.8 years is a very long time, and most will last much longer.

The first one I put in lasted two weeks, the second one has lasted 5 months now. These are not factory replacement bulbs. Spend the extra money and get the Phillips replacement bulb these should last at least 2 years.

I have not had to replace any bulbs. It is my understanding that they last for many, many ours.

I bought mine at Lowes. They last, only had to replace one. Any building supply with bulbs should have them.

I would say they are long lasting, I have been using mine for a night light in my hallway, so it's on from 8 pm - 3 am every day - for the past 6 mos, and the bulb is still going strong.

Usually new bulbs have a total of 900 hrs but by the time they reach 800 they have lost a lot of life ... I change mine every 800 so it depends on your preference !

mine lasted less than 7 months / 10,000 miles. I was really disappointed because I liked the bulbs when they worked. I contacted Philips customer service and they told me tough luck. I've vowed to never buy Philips again and to share my bad experience as often as possible.
