After 18 months and 30,000 km I have had one failure. And this was due to a rock going through the front lens. Even then, I siliconed the lens to keep out the water and bulb burnt out about two weeks later. Replaced it two months ago and all is fine.
I am in Canada and run all my lights all the time. Can't explain premature failures, some get them some don't. My Volvo V70 had 3 failures in 3 years but more or less okay the last year or so. Same for my previous Toyota 4 Runner.
I think it may have to do with the original equipment low bid supplier of bulbs?
