Message	Given that most of us haven't had HIDs for more than a few years, it might be rare for the bulbs to have failed for anyone. Unfortunately, I'm at that point right now and I was wondering if anyone else has lost one or both? When I bought mine, they said they'd last around 5 years and given how much I drive, the 3 years mine went isn't too bad. My 300Zs: www.zheaven.com - Have a question about either of my 300ZXs?
