Assuming HID.........

If there's a tinge of pink to the light they produce, then they're on their way out.

D2S burners (bulbs) - good ones like Phillips from HalFlatulences,  cheaper on ebay could well mean lesser quality, but probably OK for a few years.

Easy enough to swap out too.

All bulbs get dimmer with age and useage.no major problem replacing them ,but would always suggest removing battery as makes access to nearside a lot easier,and safer.
Are you talking about HID bulbs(the ones that are bluey/white)or standard xenon type ?

I believe its the colour that changes shedding less light. I bought some 5000k ones off Ebay which were cheap when compared to Vauxhall ones.
