I'm getting about 2 months out of headlight bulbs and it's really starting to p#%@ me off!
The car originally had Phillips Crystal Vision bulbs, so when one blew I replaced it with more crystal vision bulbs but after 2 packets of them I used the Narva high intensity bulbs, a few packets of them later I go for the Repco 90% bright white ones but they also are blowing!
Things to note:
- I never touch the bulb (or any part of it) with my fingers (I use cotton gloves or a sock if I'm out bush)
- I drive with my lights on (low beam) at all times day and night.
- yes I understand the higher burning/brighter/whiter bulbs are possible more fragile but seriously? 2 months?
Anyone else having this problem? Have you settle on a good bulb?
The Prado is my 7th vehicle, I have NEVER had to replace a headlight before the Prado.
