Ive been using xenon bulbs for my 335i Coupe and they only last about one and a half months. Does anyone know where i can get longer lasting xenon bulbs. Or if i can get cables that will save the bulbs themselves?

If you're talking about aftermarket xenon-type
blue colored halogen bulbs, none of them will
last very long because the blue coating makes
the bulb burn out faster than stock halogens..
Also, what will make any headlight bulb burn
out fast is if you touch the bulb with your bare
hand. The oils in your hand make the bulb burn
hotter and will make it break in a short period of
time. If you accidentally touch the bulb, make sure
you wipe off the bulb with alcohol on a soft cloth
(make sure you let the alcohol evaporate before
you turn on the bulb too -also very important).
If you don't have true xenon HID lights, you might
want to seriously consider the conversion from
halogen for better visibility and much longer life
than even standard halogen headlights. Other-
wise, put the stock (i.e. clear) bulbs in.
However, if you do already have the xenon true
HIDs, then you might want to consider this place...

If you are truly burn out xenon bulbs you have a wireing problems. Those bulbs are pretty tough and at close to $300 they aint cheap. Are you using aftermarket "looks like xenon" bulbs?
