Strange you should say that jonny, one of my headlight bulbs went last night and they're Phillips Ultra Blue Vision from hids4u. I was going to enquire about getting them replaced, what's the procedure to get them replaced?

I am using Philips bulbs too, same as AJ_7, for 8 months now and so far so good. I work with lighting so one advice I have is to ensure that you do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers. Make sure to always use a cloth or a napkin. Touching the bulb with your finger will reduce the lifespan by at least half. Its never very clear on the packaging that it is not recommemded to touch them.
Im not saying thats the only problem, but could help :)

My left handside headlight bulb went a few weeks ago and the one on the right hand side has just gone today. Not very impressed with the quality of the Phillips bulbs if i'm honest...

Either the car or the diabolical roads in Yorkshire... Getting a set of Osram Nightbreakers next, see how long they last me.
