This is mine Sony KDF-55E2000 Projection TV reviews - CNET Reviews
I got that message about 2 weeks ago and just got my replacement yesterday via UPS..So it lasted those two weeks and was still going. Problem is this was my 2nd bulb in that two weeks, because I thought they sent me a bad one..Appears that message is still popping up even after putting two new ones in, so There may be another problem for somewhere else..Although the picture certainly is brighter and much more crisp that message is still there.
I also bought mine here..https://www.electrified.com

Don't have one, but it should be in your OM, or in the directions that come along with the bulb.

Step 10 of the Lamp replacement instructions on page 78 in your Manual states:
Select the Lamp Replacement option (MENU > Settings > Setup menu) and follow the on-screen procedure.
That should do it.
The message doesn't necessarily mean that the lamp is bad. It simply means that it's old (has certain number of hours). So, you better get the new lamp ordered, just in case. But don't hurry replacing it yet until you notice any significant problems.
