This is getting really annoying. My drivers side headlight bulb (low beam) always seems to be blowing out constantly. I've had the car for almost 7 years now (00 Si) and I've always had this issue.


What gives? I've always installed it with super care (i.e. no touching the bulb, keeping it dry etc) and have tried a variety of different bulbs.

How many times did it go out?

Sounds like a possible short somewhere. Mine went out about 0 times.

I've tried all different headlight bulbs, from stock, to ricer lights to sylvania. They all eventually end up blowing out, not right away, but eventually.


I've had the car for 7 years and I think I have had to change bulbs probably around 5-6 times. \:\(
