How long do headlight bulbs last

How long do headlight bulbs last in new Land Rovers? The reason I ask is Lookers garage on the A40 have lots of Land Rovers with there lights on all night, maybe all day but as I'm only there at night I'm not sure, now obviously they have power other than the battery, doe's it mean that with new owner can look forward to have to replace the bulbs early?
Just wondering. Common sense isn't very common.

Probably 1000 hours then they will have an X% of their original brightness that will be reasonably acceptable. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

If left on bulbs last a lot longer, it is the power surge when turning on that tends to cause them to blow.

Just replaced my first one after nearly 9 years and 96k miles. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges

I put mine on every morning, needed or not as most people are too busy drinking coffee rather than steering

If I use standard lamps, they last about 12 months, the uprated ones seem to last around 9 months (unless they are Hal***ds ones which last about 30 seconds as they are too flipping long and catch the shutter!!!

But I do tend to use my headlights a lot as thats what I've been taught... 2000 Xei 1.8 gone
2004 HSE Td4 Auto, MT's, sump guard, sliderz - gone
2014 GS Man - AT's, Mantec Sump guard and tank guard, split charger in boot, towbar, work in progress...

Are the lights on the cars at the dealers headlights or LED DRLs? LEDs tend to last for pretty much ever. And won't cost the dealer much for the power. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

no idea David, don't think they would like me driving in in my artic to have a look! Laughing
those wheels and tyres are great, how's the disco? Common sense isn't very common.

Glad they suit you. The DS was brilliant on normal road tyres on pure ice on the North York Moors last week (so slippery I could barely stand up). It has nowhere to put a spare wheel though! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
