Hi guys,
Not sure if it's only my ITR that has this problem but any help would be appreciated.
Problem: Passenger headlight. I have literally gone through 3 different headlight globes in less than 6 months. I take due care and caution when installing them and I don't drive at night that often (maybe once or twice on the weekends). Funny thing is I haven't at all had to change the driver's side ever since I bought the car mid last year.
Just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing the same thing and a solution would be nice.

What bulbs are you using?

Is there any condensation in your passenger headlight?

had the same problem before.. my initial thought was that the problem is with the headlight, however I eventually ended up buying weaker bulbs and got rid of the problem.. hope it's the same in your case! cheers

weaker as in cheaper? or weaker as in brightness or something?

There's no condensation, the compartment is sealed and take precaution not to touch the bulb when I change them.
I was using an artic blue in them, still 12V 55W, I just bought a cheapo (Bosch) 12V 55W standard globe, if this one dies there is something wrong.
Hopefully though it is the end of my problems...
