Description of the problem	I have had the car since august 2010 and the low light beams keep burning out. I have had to replace one or the other three times now. This time the new bulb lasted less than a year. And last year i also had to replace one of the high beams. I have never owned a car that needed headlights replaced so often (actually i've never had to replace a headlight on any other vehicle i've owned). Also, i have to bring it to a dealer every time this needs to be done because it's too difficult to change myself. It's very inconvenient. There are many other people who have the same complaint so it leads me to think it's a fault that should be addressed. Other than this, i love my car!
