#2 Now if only they could use some of that money to design headlights that don't need replacing every 5000 miles.

#3 Master Mechanic here
Headlights that fail after 5000 miles are usualy put in by folks that do NOT know you must NEVER touch the bulb with your bare fingers, you leave fingerprints (Oil) that cracks the bulb due to stresses caused by the extremely high temperatures the bulbs normaly run at.
When you install a headlight bulb use a plastic baggie over your hand when you grasp the bulb, they will then last for years.

#4 Forgot to mention that baggie should also be used when you take the bulb out of it's package.
NO fingerprints is exactly what's required.

#5 Redneck Jim -- Okay, that's good to know. I guess I assumed you could just pick the damn things up. I'll try this and see what happens.

#6 While you're changing the bulb, look clobely at th plasric lens, any cracks will let in rain, A single drop will bust a bulb in seconds (Cold Shock). if the inside of the housing is dirty, or has any moisture inside at all, you'll have to get a new headlighr assembly.

#7 as someone who's replaced halogen bulbs quickly(because I did it wrong the first time...dammit), I concur with RJ's notes - he's on the money
