Need more info. What's the problem?

The headlight bulbs blow? They randomly shut off? They flicker?

How long does it take for them to "blow"? Do both of them "blow"at the same time? What brand bulbs are you using? Is it HID bulbs or halogen?

Halogen.

No, they don't blow at the same time.

I've tried many different bulbs from local stores.

Every 2 months approximately.

Yes, I know not to touch bulb.

Do your lenses fog up? Does water get inside?


Any moisture inside headlight housings that gets on the bulb will blow the bulb. Only takes a little drop of water on a hot bulb to crack it.

Not sure.

Anyway, what about LED conversions?

Aftermarket LED headlight conversions don't exist yet. They aren't plug and play like HID bulbs.

HID bulbs would pop just as well if you converted if moisture is your issue. You really need to find the root cause to your issue

I really don't consider plug and play conversions to be anything near an OEM, engineered LED headlamp system which consist of a few LED's and properly designed reflectors





Another question. When your bulbs blow, does the glass shatter?
