(Still can't believe we continue to have these discussions in the era of LEDs.
The old school H7 was my biggest surprise when I picked up the otherwise technology-ridden RS in 2015.)
For a few bucks, I've started to change my bulb pre-emptively every 12,000 miles at the beginning of trips.
(I figure I lose a lot more money prematurely changing tires and oil....)
That said - if I go to O'Reilly's with a burned out bulb and a receipt, it's now worth a few bucks (that's a few bucks more than a worn out tire or oil). And there are O'Reilly stores everywhere. 5 bulbs/60,000 miles = one hotel room.
