| Description of the problem | I am in the process of replacing my third total set of low beam headlights. This has been going on since the first year since i purchased the car. First one side then the other burn out, and it is very difficult to replace the bulbs so it costs a lot of money. I have owned many cars and i have never experienced this, either the performance of the bulbs or the inaccessibility of the design making them impossible to replace without extreme cost. I have used high quality bulbs and it doesn't seem to matter. They all just burn out. It seems like other people are having this problem as well. |
