I think they're only supposed to last like 500 hours or something and the
high beams last 150 hours.

He must do mostly night driving then...or is a DRL copy-cat and runs with
them on all the time. I don't think I've changed a headlamp more than 3-4
times in 20 years...and that includes my wife and kids cars in addition to
my own!

I use my lights all the time, high and low beam are one bulb in this
case. Had one go a few months ago, last time they had been replaced
was almost 3 years ago, if they had to get replaced at that time,
don't recall if either one broke when I had my accident. If not, it
was 4 years ago the last time they were replaced before that...
