    Hello,

    I have a 1993 Dodge Caravan V6 3.0L AC, PWR Door locks if this makes a
    difference.

    Here is my problem:

    For some strange the drivers side head light keeps burning out. I am on my
    3rd bulb. Driving lights are ok High beam are ok but the regular light on
    the drivers side is dead. I looked at the bulb and it is clearly burnt. And
    like I said this is the third bulb. Any Ideas thin is costing me $8.00 CAD
    :) a week.

    Thanks all,

    Brad

  2. Could be that you have an intermittent connection somewhere on that
    headlight - as you drive
    the vibration is making the lamp turn off then on then off then on, etc.
    That will
    burn them out pretty quick.

    Is it mounted securely and the mounting bracket and other hardware in good
    condition? If not, it could be vibrating causing the filament to fail
    prematurely. Another thought:: try buying your next replacement from
    another vendor since there could be a bad lot that was manufactured and got
    out into the supply chain.
