  bulbs run from 400 to 700 dollars! ouch!    I only run my projector when i'm sitting behind the yoke. By doing it that way, I hope to make the bulb last 2-3yrs, I fly about every other night by the way. I also cheat, I throw on the ap and go back inside to watch tv. LOL  Takeoff and landing is the best part anyways.
