Another thought - I wonder how well they'd fare on less-than-full power? Certainly household flourescents (and LEDs, for some reason) don't like running on less than full 240v. I had a few household CFLs blow prematurely before I realised what was wrong - a tiny neon behind one of the light switches was trickling about 130v into the circuit, even when the lights were off. Dimmable versions would probably have been OK, but are a lot more expensive.
The equivalent in a car would have to be protected against the headlights going pop every time you crank the engine and cause a drop in available voltage. (Not that you should be cranking with the headlights on, but even so...) TonyV.
