Static cornering bulb suggestions

[fredgroves]

It could well be that the VW ones are spec'ed for the job of a cornering light... those things are being hit quite hard in that they are coming on and off much more regularly than say a sidelight or a fog light and bulbs are most stressed with the heat up and cool down part rather than the run part.

That could well be it...

Have you looked at the expected lifespan on the box?
I bought my kids uprated bulbs from EuroCarParts not sure which ones but possibly the Phillips.  I  was shocked to see the lifespan in hundreds  of hours rather than thousands!!

I use MTEC 12v 55w Cosmos Blue and they still put out light as good as the originals.

My Osram Nightbreaker plus are still going strong in my 21 month old GTD (put them in not long after getting the car). I could take them out to put in my R but I guarantee one will pop within a week of getting refitted into the R so i'll leave them in and get some new ones.
