Mine's an 09 so they've lasted a bit longer. Yeah, I see your point about fatigue. I'll mention it to the stealer when the car goes in for service next month. 100 quid excess on the warranty though so I may just decide to push them down manually to save the cash

Actually, is there a way to deactivate them? I don't have xenons so don't really need them.
