The headlights are constantly burning out and having to be changed. Any ideas on what might be the problem?
Folks, I had this problem for years...it turned out that the voltage control module on the alterntor wasn't working correctly. It eventually led to a major problem with consistant operation of the vehicle. the dealer couldn't figure it out...it took a seasnoned mechanic to solve the problem. I haven't had a problem since I got the alternator replaced. Wear your gloves when you change them, yes, but don't discount your alternator.
It the bulb not the car ..... the bulb get a minor electeric surge andpops the bulb.....if you look at the termninal on bulb they are very close together causing a short...if you buy the new exstended life bulb they are made better and i havent had to cahnge one since
If the bulbs are burning out, it's usually because whoever replaces them, touches the glass part of the bulbs. The oil from your fingers make them burn out very quickly. I sincerely hope that I helped you. Best wishes.

Same problem. I just get them on Ebay and buy multiples and save on shipping. I keep one handy in the glove box. I've tried wearing nitrile gloves etc., at this point I KNOW it is not that I get the oil from my hands on the bulbs. This car just burns through bulbs - only the H7 low beams. I bought the car new and have replaced 8 low beams and no other bulb in the entire car. And I keep my low beams off except when I need them (I do not use them as day time running lights).
I'm on my 6th bulb, usually about 1 every 6 to 8 months. I would believe the theory of getting grease on the bulb if the bulb burned out right after it was changed out, but thats never happened.
I've dealt with the same issue. I've replaced both lowbeams twice in the last 18 months, and they haven't been a result from touching the bulbs. I wonder if there's an electrical issue?
