headlights - does your car go through them fast?

I have a '99 9-5. I've had it almost a year. I just replaced yet another headlight bulb this morning. Each one has now been replaced 2x since I've owned the car. I don't know if they were new when I bought it or not, but the first set croaked about 6 months ago, and this set croaked last week and last night.
The auto parts store guy said newer volvos and saabs using these bulbs seem to be replacing them every 6 months or so. I haven't heard anybody else complaining about this, so I thought it was just me. I still think it is just my car.
How often do you replace your headlamp bulbs?
What brand are you using?
