I don't think you will be doing them anytime soon.

I'd say easily 3-5 years but it depends on how often you use your headlights etc.

I've seen some go 100,000 miles.

Personally, I think it depends on wear and age of plastic etc rather then mileage because we all do mileage different.
Given 12,000 miles a year, many tend to go in the 50-100k range which is about 4-8 years.
Okay, thanks. I ended up just buying these from Ebay and I know it would have been easy to just go to hardware like Lowe's or Home Depot to get the material and cut to make, but easier for me to just have in my mailbox.
