98 T/A burning out headlights once/month At least once a month I end up losing a headlight. It's always the low beams, and usually the left is the first to go. I lost the left one (again) the other day and the right one burnt out this afternoon. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know what the deal is?

don't touch the bulb when you install them, or get any kind of contamination on the bulb. they are halogens and get very hot, any kind of oil on them can cause them to fail. Use 90% isopropyl alcohol and a cotton ball to clean the bulb if you touch them with your fingers or even if they have been laying on your bench prior to installing them.
Other than that, look and see if you're getting any moisture in the headlight fixture, and also make sure the rubber seal that is on the connector that plugs the light into the fixture is good.
