Do HID bulbs last longer than H7's???

Might be worth the change after my fiasco putting in new nightbreakers yesterday!

You don't have main beam on the whole time otherwise you'll be ****ing a lot of people off! You have dipped beam on the whole time (in a Volvo with DRL). You use main beam (high beam/full beam) on a deserted country road, for example, where you're not going to blind anyone.
