9005s are higher wattage in the save cavity. They are meant to be HIGH BEAMS, not low beams, they aren't made to be on all the time, so yes they will burn out faster.
any bulb that is rated higher than the stock bulbs will burn out. it doesn't matter if they're used for high or low beams. i don't think they are 'meant' to be high beams because they are of higher wattage. the bulb used for the high beam doesn't matter. the high beam reflector is what makes the light aim up and bright as hell.
