Default RE: Auxillary/Passing Lamp vibrations ?

I have PIAA in mine and it has been in there for about 10,000 miles. I use them all the time.

I always thought the left one would go out sooner from the wind deflector touching the engine guard and passing on vibrations.


And don't even get me started on the life of front turn signal bulbs. [:@][:@][:@]
i installed an HID bulb in the headlamp, which is almost blue in color. the auxilliary lamps are yellow. I want to replace the bulbs with Sylvania Silverstar blue bulbs but don't know which ones to get, other than that they're L shaped. Can anyone help?
