So, I have the right headlights and keep trying different companies but my tibby likes to blow a headlight every 6 months. I've had the car for a year and half and have gone through 6 headlights. They just keep blowing. Anyone else having this problem?

 

I have them same problem and I was using the silverstar bulbs and every six months or even in the winter they would go out on me. Last year in the winter I went through 5 bulbs. My best advice is to get the hid kit off ddmtuning.com. It is affordable and easy to hook up. That is one of the reasons I bought my hid kit I have on my car and so far so good and it is winter so. I don't expect any problems they have good reliability.

 

All of our cars do that with blowing bulbs. Its just how they are. I put HIDs on all my cars now right when I get them.

 

thats odd, ive had my car for over a year and a half and still have the bulbs the previous owner put in like 3 years ago without any problems... i would definitely spend the little extra money to get HIDS though if i had the extra money

 

Are you touching the bulbs with your bare hands? The oil from your fingers can make the bulb prematurely blow.

 

I had a set of silver stars in the tib for what must of had been over a year to a year and a half. I replaced those with another set of silver stars until about 5 months later I switched to HIDs. I would definitely recommend HIDs, however if those aren't an option I haven't had a problem with silver stars even though I heard they are notorious for blowing.

 

silverstars are a joke. if you don't want to go with HIDS (which truthfully is the best way to go) try some PIAA's.

I gained a easily 100 ft of lit area with HIDS. we have a DIY that tells how to install any kit.

 

if you want to use regular bulbs go with nokia (spw) never had proble mwith those
PIAA also are good but cost an arm and a leg

 

You aren't burning out headlights, you are burning out BULBS.

Do a search, there's a few dozen threads here about it. Best thing to do is wait about 30 seconds to a minute before turning the lights on after you start the car.

 

before i switched to HID's, only 1 time did my headlight blow, it was so long ago, i could not even remember what company made the bulb...

personally i never had silverstars, and this is my first time hearing that they blow there load prematurely, freaking crazy huh? lol
