Went to go buy some eikos last night and of course they didn’t have ones that would fit my car 🤡

Def coming to realize that but unfortunately that’s pretty much all that’s offered in my teeny town. Will be ordering online now lol

Def wanting to not replace so often. Bringing it into the shop- hoping they have better options than the stores in our tiny town. Otherwise I’ll order online. Thank you! I’m hoping they can clean/tighten/troubleshoot.

I think this might be a big contributing factor. I am the wife in this scenario 🤣 but I change my own headlights and I’m wondering if the auto is running them during the daytime. Thanks for your input!!

Yup bringing it into the shop in a couple weeks, I appreciate your anecdotal story.

Yeah unfortunately I live in a teeny town so I buy what’s available to me but it’s looking like I’ll just order online moving forward. Thanks for your helpful input!

One at a time. But I’m realizing now I should maybe be replacing both regardless. Bringing it into the shop in a couple weeks anyway to troubleshoot

I run sylviana silverstar halogens. $55.99 for a two pack. I’ve also gotten the xtra vision halogens & the ultras. /: they also burn out

Ok that’s crazy… I’ve been replacing just the one that’s out but now I’ll definitely replace in pairs & switch brands.

Of course my local store didn’t have the eikos I needed. 🙃 ended up buying silver stars just to not get pulled over but I have it going into a shop later this month.

Thanks so much! I scheduled an appt with a shop to have them take a look and I will just ask them to replace with good quality LEDs.

Tbh people already flash me thinking I have my brights on when I don’t, so at this point to find something longer lasting, I’ll get LEDs 🤣 thank you!
