File date	15/05/09
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The low beam light bulbs burn out frequently. I use the high quality bulbs (around $28 ea) but they still burn out every 3 to 4 months, same as the lower quality bulbs. Even with being very careful installing the bulbs, wearing clean gloves and cleaning with alcohol prior to setting and locking, they still burn out. I bought the car at 27,000 miles, now it has 50,500 and the problem is consistent. I doubt that bulb quality is the issue here, since i've experimented with the $17 bulbs and the $28 bulbs and the results are the same.
