How many STOCK light bulbs have you blown. Stock or regular bulbs. (not the silverstar, or bluevision, or pacific mall painted blue bulbs)

So my drivers side light went out again. About 20K after I got it replaced.

So now the running count for me os 3 bulbs.

drivers side @ 45K
passenger @ 60K
drivers @ 67K

I haven't blown any yet.

I have blown 2 aftermarket bulbs (cheapies).

Do you turn your light on all the time?

Why not try disconnecting your daytime running lights and see how long they last?

Might be a wiring problem though?

blown 2 STOCK bulbs within a week of each other. not sure if it was the bitter cold (it was like -30c that week).

but yeah, my Litech bulbs are officially 1 year old now... didn't know these damn bulbs could last so long... heheh... now i hope they don't blow cuz the warranty has run out!

Haven't blown any stock bulbs yet. I switched to Litech after a few month, they are almost a year old now

I still have my original stock bulbs. I replaced them with Eurolite plasma whites, which blew after a year.
Since I've replaced them with Silverstars which I've had over a year now.
I will probably have the stockers a side until the day I sell or trade the car in.

I haven't blown any stock bulbs yet. But I replaced them about 6 months after I bought the car with Eurolites and they blew every 8 months. I've had Silverstars in now for 3 months and they have been awesome.

glad i saw this. babys passenger light blew, i was going to buy a new one, but if you all seem to be getting them replaced under warranty, i might as well try also... car's about 2.5 years, so i might as well get another free thing done... (also blew a fog and a drivers bulb - so 3 total now.)

i blew a 2nd PIAA bulb about a month ago.. i had 4 days warrnaty left so i got the one replaced.. then.. 2 days ago another PIAA goes.. nto sure if it was the replaced one or the one that was ok.. anyway no more warranty so i'm back to stock.

so far i've gone through 2 eurolites, 2 PIAA bulbs, and 2 stock bulbs!! all in just over a year! i don't get it. my amp isn't that strong, i get zero headlight dimming, and i always turn my lights off before shutting off the car. wtf....
