Philips officially says that the lifespan is around 3000 hrs, the bulb is at 50% brightness. This means, a bulb may still be working long after that but it is getting darker.

I have replaced mine 2 years ago when it was at 150,000km aged 15 years for the first time. I noticed the big difference of the brightness. I'd say almost twice brighter than before and it made me much easier to drive at night.
