I Need Some Help..
I Need Some Help.. Alright so this is becoming really annoying lol. I keep blowing my driver's side headlight. I have replaced the same headlight three times over the last 4 months. I am getting tired of getting pulled over and then having to go out and buy a new headlight all the time. I can't think of anything. I was thinking maybe a voltage spike or something was popping the bulb, but I had my electrical system checked and there were no abnormalities. My headlight is currently out again so I was going to see if you guys had any solutions before I go out and lay down more money on another replacement for the fourth time in less than six months ha ha.
This is been happening to a few of us with Sylvania headlights. I think there was a bad run at their factory.
Keep the box - they have a warranty, but you need the box and your receipt.
Did you go to the same store to get all the bulbs? If so, you might want to go to another store in hopes they have another batch on the shelves.

They are still the stock sealed beams. I also keep getting sylvanias I didn't know they had a bad batch. I'm going to keep the box and receipt from the one I just bought. I actually went to a different store this time so maybe it will work out lol.

I had the same trouble using Sylvania Xtra vision H4703xv. I called Sylvannia customer service and they sent out another set but those blew too after 3 months. The old factory ones I have work fine and don't blow so i'm sure its the new lamps.
You could have a diiferent prob;em if you are burning out the stock lamps, If the wiring is corroded or the alternator voltage regulator is bad it could spike or make the lights flicker. Flickering lights will burn out quick because it damages the filiment. Try unpluging the connections at the headlight motor and check visually for and kind of damage.

Love 'em. They went right in with no fuss. I can also change the bulbs now without needing to take the housing apart. Just open the hood and its all right there. I can't think of a better option.
