2 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2019

In the last 1 1/2 years of ownership I have had many issues with lights going out. First both break lights went out and I replaced them. Then the driver's side headlight kept going in and out. The driver's side break light went out again so I replaced it again. Next the passenger side headlight went out completely and I replaced it. After that both headlights were fine. A few months later the driver's side headlight started going in and out again. I replaced it and it was fine. Then the passenger side break light went out. 7 weeks after I had both headlights replaced and in good working order the driver's side headlight went out. 4 days later the passenger side headlight went out.
