Must have been someone else. They don't have a Hella Xenon bulb listed, what they do have sounds very similar to what I purchased, only with the Hella name (and less expensive). If I had known about these bulbs before, I would have purchased them.

If you click the link to Hella's "technical" explanation of xenon bulbs, they note that the xenon blend allows the filament to "burn" hotter. AFAIK, everyone who has had problems had the xenon blue, or blue type bulbs. This could be a contributing factor.
