Yep. they last a long time. I got mine in 2010, and only changed the bulbs last fall. Mine had ALOT of burn time too...I do 50k or more a year in the night with the HID on. If you are ordering, grab a couple of extra bulbs since they are so cheap...Then you have them ready to go. Mine started turning purple and brown.....popped a new set in and back to normal and much brighter than the old ones.

You might not have to do that. Like I said, I had to cut the back out of my housing to fit the blub in. There might be room inside the PIAA at which point it's plug and play. maybe have to make the hole where the wires come out a little bigger to fit the plugs. at which point you just silicone over that hole to keep water out.
That's what I had to do with mine.

perfect....you should be happy! they will be blue for a couple of seconds until warmed up, then the bulbs will turn the color of stock halogen bulbs, which is what you want. all this 6000k color bullshit, like LEDs are garbage. you loose light output and vision because of these stupid blue lights.
