    Hi there
    I own a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 L Inline 4-cylinder of lately I have been facing problems regarding headlight bulb seems to be going off pretty frequently! It’s like changing bulb every 15 days I checked with fuse console but everything seems to be right I even tried to check the problem with local mechanic even he couldn’t figure it out.:confused:
    So I was wondering what exactly the culprit would be as it is taking a toll on my expenses
    Any valuable inputs from owners of this car would be most helpful.

    Per chance are you installing the bulb bare handed? The oils I on you skin get on the glass and cause the bulb to overheat. Whenever I replace a head light I wear Latex gloves and haven't had a problem.
