Default lifespan of HID / zenon bulbs ???

I posted this in the xA section as well, but no responses yet.

Owners w/HID kits(and sponsored sellers of HID kits here) , please chime in . What has your experiences been, in regards to longevity/lifespan of HID / zenon bulbs ?? It would be best if owners that have replaced them already, could chime in w/ roughly how many hours/years the bulbs lasted them for - would be greatly apprciated.

Thanks in advance.

I believe they're supposed to last two years of average use.

I've had mine for almost a year now and I haven't encountered any issues with them yet. I use them pretty frequently too.
