to average life span of an H7 bulb is about 500 hours. Since the 9-5 uses the kow beam as daytime running lamps, 500 hours of use over 1.5 years may well be normal.
Also be aware that the new 30% brighter, whiter, premium, halogen/xenon bulbs have an average life of about 1/2 the standard halogen bulbs. This is due to the smaller filament winding that also burns hotter (thus whiter/brighter) to produce the extra light output. So more light output means replacing the lamps more often.
