Right headlight is a tard!
« on: July 06, 2010, 02:21:28 PM »
OK   So I have replaced the bulb in my wife's 2000 GV twice in the last year.  They keep blowing the bulb out on the rught side.  First was those high intensity bulbs...I think the Sylvania Whites.  Then the second round for regular set and once again...the right side is dead after about 3 months. 

What gives?

I have made very sure I didn't touch the glass...didn't bang it on anything...etc..  But is will only last about 3 months. 

HALP!!

any condensation on the inside of the lense? any moisture can lead to bulb failure.

DF,

Any chance the the headlight assembly is loose and vibrating  Contamination and moisture are the biggies, but I've seen wiggly bits cause this too.  Adjusters broken?

Sorry I didnt get back to this sooner...didnt turn on notifications.

Here is the kicker....The left side has a busted housing mount when she took out a fence post two winters ago.  That one rattles some and the housing is loose but that one works fine.  The right side is not damaged at all.  No moisture inside the housing, (one of the first things I thought it was), nuttin.  I am beginning to hate this thing.  Already gone through another bulb.

So the housing is secure? The connection is not corroded?  3 bulbs is this short of time there has to be something not being told. Can you post a picture of it?
