Depends if an always-on light or a parking light that's switched on (or turns on with headlights.)Mine was the second type and lasted about 4 years.

Not long. Seems like mine was dead after 4-5 hours of use over several months. Never replaced the battery so I've been stuck with a white, plastic bulb for years now. Wouldn't purchase again.

RESET the bulb timer in GENERAL SETTINGS>LAMP REPLACEMENT. This should have been done when you put the new bulb in back in Feb. A new bulb should last at least one year running 12 hours per day, and typically longer for sets that are not on that much. The warning is triggered when the bulb's "on" time approaches 10,000 hours. Some bulbs last longer than 10,000 hours, but most should be replaced around 7000 hrs for optimum color and brightness.

As others stated, hiigh/low, mine lasted about 9 months before they went out with a week of each other. precautions taken to not touch the bulb during installation.

There are various options as you might have already seen. Unfortunately most lamps will only last 1 to 1 1/2 years. Prices vary, but there are good selections both here at amazon and ebay. Make sure you buy the complete assembly, it is much easier to replace and you don't save much when you only buy the bulb. Select the vendor with the best ratings seems to work the best.

The first one I put in lasted two weeks, the second one has lasted 5 months now. These are not factory replacement bulbs. Spend the extra money and get the Phillips replacement bulb these should last at least 2 years.

I've had these for a few month now, and so far so good. One I keep on downstairs on the first floor all night every night, and it is working fine. I could not comment on anything longer term. Hope this helps. Perhaps the other reviewers got bulbs from a defective batch or something...

I just purchased the lamps about 8 months ago and the bulbs are still fine. Really depends on how long you have them lit so it's very hard to answer that question. I did buy a back up bulb since I use one lamp more than the other. Trust me you won't worry about replacing the bulb once you see how well the lamp works. That is why I bought two and three of my neighbors bought one each too.

They say 50,000 hours, which if you burn it an average of 18 hours a day, 365 days a year, it will work for ~7.6 years. There are no replacement bulbs that i have seen.

I bought mine from bulb direct. It lasted 3 days. They have a good return policy. They shipped a new one and it is working fine. Hope this helps

If you expand the Product Description, you'll clearly see the following:Substantially longer lifespan (a minimum of 22.8 years at three hours a day of usage)Note: The bulbs are not replaceable, but 22.8 years is a very long time, and most will last much longer.

No, we use these at our business. They've been on since December 14, 2013. Only one bulb has needed replacing and they are on all the time. Great product.

By the way, the bulb in it is rated for 100,000 hours. Probably about 10,000 years for me!! ;-)

I have no idea. It worked when I installed it and is still going . I believe most of these type bulbs last close to a couple of years depending on individual use.

Depends on what kind of batteries you are using. I have two on my light. They seem to last about 2.5 to 3 hours before I need to change them out.
