Argh why didnt you write this up about 4 months ago, i paid someone to replace mine after looking online and thinking this is too hard [emoji14]
The factory bulbs must have a failure rate which is about now.
They are rated for 3000 hours I think.
So cars are getting on for 10 years which is about 1.2 hours of use a day.
Seems legit.

I'm very happy to say that I never had to do this myself.
Got my R36 and one of the globes wasn't in properly and someone had put a wood screw in to hold the dust cover..
Had to have my front bumper replaced under insurance and asked if they could pretty please put a new bulb in (Supplied a pair) and I now have Phillips 6000k D1S' which are nice but were not cheap by any means.\
Nice writeup too, you put me off installing these for six weeks while I waited for my claim to go through :p
