Does anyone have these installed in a car that uses the headlights as daytime running lights, if so how long have they lasted?

Very few cars use their headlights as their daytime running lights, because it drains power and wears out the headlights.I run these on my motorcycles, which do run their headlights whenever they're running, day and night. The literature with the bulbs suggested they'd last about half as long as standard bulbs.

Many variables here but I drive at night and quite a few hour of run time and no problems after a year

Don't know if it helps as I've only had them for four months, but no problems here installed in a motorcycle with always on headlights.

In a conventional headlight you can see beam pattern. These led headlights illuminate everything. Much brighter. I love mine. As far as warrenty I threw my box away but I believe it said 1 year manufactures warrenty. Average led last 100,000 hours. I've had mine a year with no problems

Khanh, I put these on my car a couple of months ago. I haven't seen them fade in and out. One of the LED lights occasionally flickers when the car is shut off and the lights are on for the brief delay i have set it up for. They look good but I would suggest you buy the 40 or 60 watt version as these are not as bright as I would have liked.

I've been using mine for a year though I don't have them on often. The adhesive for the lights are starting to deteriorate though.

They are very nice headlights, but very easily can stop working. My leds and my Halos are already stopped working on the passenger side. And the main headlights willl suddenly just stop working and come back on. Im not sure if its a bug in my electrical system or the headlights themselves but ive heard from other people that had purchased an installed halos and had the same problems.

I purchased a set of these on 8/25/2011. The first bulb went out on 1/31/2014. So that one lasted 29 months (2 years and 5 months). My car is a Toyota Corolla LE; which has daytime running lights. So my lights are on every time the car is running. The original Toyota low beam lights lasted 6 years. So the PIAA 10926 9006 (HB4) lasted me less than half the life of the factory lights.

I think i had them for close to 3 years now. So far so good. They are about the same brightness than stock, with a more white color. Like what the others have said, you will need to go HID to get them brighter.

I have 2 nissan sentras and have replaced both sets of headlights and never had a problem.

I run headlights with 100 watt h4 bulbs, electric fans, and fuel pumps with them they haven't failed yet... keep some spares just in case and make sure they do not exceed the amp ratings.

I wired the led's into my running lights and the regular lights went in regular, but "daytime running lights" are a manufacturer option on cars, if your car doesn't have those, you can't get them. You can simply splice the led leads into the wires for your running lights instead of the headlight wires.

My Camry had day time running lights, if that's what you mean. These will work, I have a 2003 Camry.

I've had mine in my daily driver for a year now with no issues and I commute 110km or roughly 70miles round trip daily. But in all honesty for $16/pair for much better light output its a no brainer especially with older vehicles.

In my experience they last as long as other bulbs typically last. Mine were still working great and strong when we sold my truck.... it hadn't been years since the install but there was no sign of them going out anytime soon. (I think it had been 1-2 years since the bulb swap out from factor bulbs)

I've owned a pair for almost a year. The camaro stays parked outside and shows no signs of fading or yellowing. Very good looking headlights for the money.

As Del answered I've not used them on a regular basis, but I have had the bulbs for 4 years and use them around the holidays. They seem to last for quite a while.

Robert, I have been using these for over 8 years now and the are excellent. My car stays outside in the FL sun and they last any where from 6-10 months.

I've got about 75 to 100 hours on mine. I only have manual headlights though, so they don't get used that much. I had Sylvanias in a different car, and they lasted just about 4 years. I'm guessing I got about 350-375 hours out of them, which was good for me. I don't expect these bright lights to last often because of the temperature of the light. I have heard from plenty of people saying they only last about 1 year, but they all have constant-on headlights. If the headlights are always on on your car, I'd say you can get a year or so out of them under so-called "normal" driving conditions. Personally, I liked my Sylvanias more. To me, they were brighter.
