Description of the problem	I was driving in a rural area in illinois where we have a lot of deer, so i flipped on my high beams for better visibility. I had purchased the car with 87,000 miles on it that summer and may not have even used them yet. The high beams stayed on for a few seconds and then flashed and went back to low beam. I checked them upon arriving home and could see that they shattered. I replaced these with bulbs from o'reilly auto - using gloves to avoid touching them - these high beams were seldom used but worked. It is now november of 2014 and these also failed; did not shatter but failed to illuminate. I assume they are burned out. I am concerned that i may never be able to use the high beams for safety on this otherwise fantastic car. I have avoided using the high beams ever since i replaced them the first time, so i am not sure when they actually quit working this time.
