I put a pair of these in late last March or early April and even leaving the lights off and running as much as possible on daytime running lights both of these were burned out by December.

doc - the DOT problem is something I had forgotten about when I installed the LED bulbs. I might have to rethink this.

I hope they last me to december for $50 and then I can upgrade to led or hid,
I heard even the cheap h9 are brighter then best h11s out there, they just have a shorter life and not sure if the extra heat from 65w
will couse problems.

A video for installing HID (bi xenon) kit in Volvo. The kit in the video used the HID bulb for both low and high beam and deactivates the factory high beam. I'm thinking this would be an inspectors wet dream on a road side inspection. I think the later kits have the ability to retain the factory high beam. Also keep in mind few if any of these kits are DOT legal so see what DRISX wrote a couple of posts ago.
