Well, if your headlamps goes on with the ignition, and we assume that tou drive your car at an average of 35 miles/hour, your lamps have been lit for about 700 hours. At an average of 30 miles/hour they have been lit for 850 hours. I dont know how many hours one can expect from a bulb, but household lamps are told to live about 1000 hours, and they are in a much better environment than a car lamp. My 9-5 has consumed 2 bulbs already, itĨs a 1998, driven 70000 km (43500 miles). /Mats On Sat, 20 Oct 2001 21:38:45 GMT, Marc Escuro <mgescuronopsam.com> wrote: > >The oddest thing happened to me at the SAAB dealership the other day when I >was getting my oil changed and my brake pads replaced. > >One of my headlamps burned out.
