Update on Hella Gold's:

The left bulb high-beam went bust after nearly 2-3 months of usage so had to replace that. Likely reasons being (dealer says) don't use it on high-beam for than 30mins at a stretch since that'll cause heat builup & cause the bulb to fail, but on highways that's quite hard not to do.

My thinking is that it's mostly because I do at times use both beams together which might have lead to the bulb getting heated & going bust.

Anyways replaced it for Rs. 175/-
