If so, every time you crank the engine it voltage spikes the globes and fuggs them quickly.
Starting any vehicle with the lamps on (except HID's) is bad news.
You can get long life phillips H7's for twice the price but try switching the lights off before cranking it up.

Yes we leave the lights on both cars when we start them ( also have a my96 impreza).
The long life Philips globes are what was in it, and they both have had blown. I'll tell the missus to start leaving them off when she turns the cars on now, and we'll see if that works.
Thanks for that.
