Stock Headlamps: How often do yours burn out??

[static]

What the heck.. just this past summer, my left headlamp burned out and I got it replaced. Now last night my right one burned out. I've only had my car for a little over a year and a half.. this seems a bit soon doesn't it???

Yeah.. just the bulbs.. I mean, how long are these things SUPPOSED to last? It's kinda annoying..

Did you get them from Toyota or some other company ?? I have the original stock ones in my room in case the ones I bought (cheap wanna be blue ones from JCWhitney) burn out ... so far so good ... but the car hasnt been driven in months, :p

Yeah, they're the same bulbs that came with the car.. straight from the factory.

that's pretty weird... i got a 2000 celi, had it for over a year now, drive it everyday, and I've yet to have a bulb go on me *knock on wood*

I've had mine for a over 18 months and everything is still OK. Did hear when halogens first came out that when the first one went you might as well replace both since the other will be right behind it. From experience that turned out to be true. Don't know if that still applies.

Wow, excellent. Thanks for the great replies. I went to Toyota and got it replaced yesterday... I hope for everyone that it doesn't happen to u soon..

$50 + per bulb... and you don't even want to know how hard the install is...
