Constantly changing headlights

It seems as though I’m changing headlights every other month. It’s not like I’m buying cheap bulbs. Anyone else with this trouble and if so how did you solve it?

 

Are you changing both at the same time?

 

OEM is the way to go!

 

The “super” ultra white/blue aftermarket lamps burnout fast.

 

Are you taking care to not touch the glass part of the bulb when changing them?

Any water or condensation in the headlight assemblies?

 

100% ... common bulb killer. Oils from fingers do damage

 

Yea but not in 2 months. My last set of silver starts lasted about 2 years.

 

Are you sure you are seating everything in well. My turn signal bulb went out, replaced it and it was out a few days later. Turns out when I replaced the old one, I didn't push it in all the way until it was completely in and it just wiggled loose after driving. That's what I'd check first.

 

I went with alpharex and never looked back

 

I have a pair of cloth gloves I use for bulb changes. They seems to be clean. Must be inferior bulbs. I’ve been buying them at Advance or O’Reilys. Will try OEM. Thanks

 

Get rid of the cloth gloves and don't touch the glass envelope! Anything that touches the glass can cause a hot spot what will cause a new bulb to burn out in days.
