| Description of the problem | Within the last year and a half i have replaced the low beam headlights approximately 6 times. 3 times on the right headlight and 3 on the left. My mechanic can not tell me what is causing this. He said it looks like a grounding problem. Have you had any reports of this problem or is this an isolated problem? The cost of these bulbs are getting too much to bear. It seems to be getting worse because i replaced the left light last week and the right light today (12-8-14). |
