Today we replaced an original tail lamp bulb in my 1998 Lexus that has 316,000 miles on it. It still worked but put up enough resistance to set the light in the dash off. My car is a 1997 build I think making that bulb old enough to drink.

You could even keep that old bulb as a spare, for when you need to replace the next bulb in about ten years.

Pft, BMW turn signal bulbs can go for a millenia without needing replacements.

The lights in my 4runner are probably mostly original but that’s a 99

But that’s like Schrodinger’s Bulb. You don’t know if it works until you use it, and nobody uses them.

Is it because they’re never used?

I’ll see myself out.

I’ve never had to replace a single rear bulb (excluding license plate bulbs) in my 2000 Peugeot. And I always drive with my lights on. To be fair though, I’ve only owned it for 160k km and 5+ years and I obviously don’t know if/when previous owners changed bulbs.
