Default IPF Headlight from Northridge 4X4

I say about a year and a half ago, I purchased IPF headlights from Northridge4X4...Just the other day I noticed the one standard light is not turning on, but my high beams are working..So basically I am just using one headlight

Are the bulbs supposed to burn out so quick? Could It be just defective? Would Northridge replace the Bulb?

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but ay help is appreciated

Sounds about right for the bulb. Run get a set of sylvaina bulbs to replace them. Cheap and effective. Phillips bulbs are good too. Stay away from cheap or even expensive blue colored bulbs, they just decrease light output for "coolness"

Get a set of Sylvania Xtra Vision. They are slightly brighter then regular replacement bulbs but not as bright as Silver Stars. Silver Stars also have a short life span.

I tried the Sylvania Silverstar on my wife's car and they never lasted more than six months. Replaced by Philips, which has been working fine for more than one year and a half. So, when upgrading my Jeep's lights I'll go for Philips if not getting one of the LED lights.

After some searching a set of bulbs will run me around 75 bucks plus have to wait for shipping..Anyone know If the silver stars are cheaper? do they need a different connector, or can I use the same ARB connectors with the silvanias?

I would look at the Phillips extreme bulbs. Not real expensive and have good reviews

To increase life span have the light on with key fob turned off, the dim down off can shorten bulb life.
