how often do u change headlights?
I've had my 2000 tiburon for about two years now. I've replaced the headlights 4 times! Isn't that a lot? I've tried different brands and I replace both at the same time, but lately I've been keeping the spares because they don't last any longer then 6 months. Usually one will go, never both at the same time. Any ideas why this happens or is this normal?

What kind of bulbs do you use? Normally the Xenon blue bulbs burn out faster than OEM replacements.
Also remember to be very careful when installing them. You can't touch the bulb AT ALL. It messes with the bulb and causes them to blow up or burn out faster than normal.

Word.. I bought those "street dezigns" ones off ebay.. you know those buy it now for 99 cent ones. They lasted a good 3 months and burnt out. I then got Sylvania Silver Stars and They lasted 2 years with no problems. Plus the light looked alot better than the ebay bulb lights
