Valeo specifies something like 1500 hours (I forget the exact number) for Xenon electric arc discharge light bulbs, vs. 500 or less for halogens. Plus the electric arc bulbs operate from a sabilized power supply, not the car's 12 volts which can vary accroding to the alternator setting and the wiring efficience
(Are Saabs burning bulbs faster - and putting out more light - because their more efficient wiring exposes the bulb to higher voltage? Note that the 9000s had a smidgen of resistance added into their DRL supply, and are not known for short headlight life.)
