The bulb is only about $8, and is not hard to replace.
You just turn the retaining ring enough for it to come off on the back side of the lamp, and then the bulb pulls right out.
It is only the lens that is expensive.

Honda accord keep burning low beam headlights

Sounds to me like you need to reset the headlight housings... maybe they are vibrating very badly. ... OR, easy fix, get NEW headlight housings on EBay and install.

Where are the headlight fuses located on the 1999 cutless?

GM headlights are not fused, there is a circuit breaker that is part of the main light switch. I suggest you remove the headlight switch and check it for a burned connector (common), if the connector is burned replace it and the headlight switch, new connectors can be bought from the GM dealer or other sources.

99 cutlass supreme headlight bulb replacement

Look at the top of the headlight assembly. There is a plastic panel on top of the assembly that is held in place by two plastic pins. Remove those pins by lifting the center of the pin and then pull out the pin. Remove the panel. Then you will find two small plastic levers that will lift about 1/2 inch. They do not come out but they will release two studs that secure the assembly. After the assembly is released, slide it forward to access the bulbs you need to replace. Installation is the reverse of these procedures.

Headlight

This is always caused by moisture getting into the headlight lens assembly, the surface of the bulb is about 500 degree's, if any moisture even a tiny bit gets on the bulb is cracks the glass and the filament burns out, the leak will be in the electro-static seal weld of the lens edge and is a common concern on all models of cars that use a plastic lens and separate bulb setup. Solution replace the headlight lens, they are cheap and can be bought from partstrain.com, about $60.00

Constantly replacing headlights

Do not tear thru anything please just go to the dealership and replace the headlights! The Hyundai's headlights burn so hot that any aftermarket headlights will burn out quite quickly! I have purchased many different headlight bulbs for my Hyundai including the ultrabright lights and those just burned. Went to the dealer and purchased two headlights from them for $21.00 and they installed them!!!! Have not had a problem since! (that was over a year ago)

Both of my headlights burned out about the same time a year and a half ago. I then replaced a few months ago, now the other one blew. It seems that these two lights both burned out too soon. Possible...

I've got a 2001 Elantra that "eats" headlights. Within the last five years, I've probably replaced both headlights 10-15 times. Last time I bought bulbs, the clerk at the Auto Zone recommended coating the connection points of the bulbs in electrical grease (which is different than regular grease). It's usually sold in small foil packages at the check-outs. Anyway, this seemed to prolong the life of the bulbs by 3-4 times. It's a cheap fix that didn't completely solved the problem, but sure cut down on the number of bulb replacements.
