1)no changes or events that lead to this concern. 2)headlights continue to go out. It usually starts with the passenger side and then onto the drivers side. I have to replace the headlight bulbs every month if not more. 3)these bulbs are purchased brand new. Dealer states no recall. I replaced the blown passenger bulb on a Tuesday, it blew out two days later and then the drivers side blew out; we were in the middle of a road trip late at night! not the first time this had happened. Safety issue. I have friends who are having the same occurrences.
My 2005 Hyundai Sonata has very weak low beam headlights, this has been ongoing since the car has been brand new.
