Have you guys actually changed the bulbs? They are not H1, they are D2R. Maybe you guys have fake DC5R lights???? (I dont believe the bulbs are interchangeable)

DC5R headlights are different from the USDM type s.
They are built in OEM HID so I think the hid bulbs will last longer since they are OEM product.
