Nightbreakers are great but if you do a fair but of mileage with them on they just don't last. I ran them for a while but they rarely lasted more than a few months.

60 watt maximum for incandescent lamps I believe.

That's interesting, I got mine from a reputable supplier who happily replaced them but they stopped selling them as they had so many returns.I have them in my motorcycle and they're on all the time, no failures in about 3 years.

I’m alway very careful when swapping bulbs and even clean them with an alcohol wipe if I accidentally touch them. It may well be that I’m not doing a regular commute to a fixed place. I am regularly driving for several hours in a day so that may well be a different duty cycleOne of those things, someone else said the same earlier in the thread and I replied about having had one set for 3/years 30k miles commuting to a Nightshift job.
I'm always very careful not to touch the glass and get grubby prints on it which causes hotspots? Perhaps this is a cause?
The problem is they sell 100% brighter and 150% and 200%.I've used Autobulbs Direct stuff for a fair few years with no complaints, a couple of bulbs here with a 4 years guarantee that should do you, one of Mrs Robo's cars (Peugeot?) was notorious for breaking headlamp bulbs so I fitted a pair of their "endurance" bulbs which where still working fine when the car was sold.
Also consider the bulbs you show will draw almost twice the current your car's wiring is designed for which will could lead to problems (burnt switchgear, melted cables etc.)
I was thinking about this. For the same wattage and higher brightness they obviously have to burn hotter so can’t last as long. Of course the blue coatings make them look whiter also. I did notice that abd do 80 watt blue ones, and I have a pair of 100 watt ones with a blue and yellow coating that I took out of the disco, but of course going to higher wattage with a modern car you are into burning out the wiring and melting lenses and reflectors.The problem is they sell 100% brighter and 150% and 200%.
But all of them are listed as 55watt.
Unlike older bulbs that have two wattages listed.
Mine even has HID fitted on some apparently as when I put my reg number in I get a choice of two.
It's rather ironic that this thread cropped up and my son watched me reverse the car back after I had driven down the road thinking how bad the lights were that night.
He said did you know you drivers side low beam is out.....nope but it explains a lot.
