I have had to replace the driver's side headlamp 3 times in 3 years. Apparently I am not the only one, the chats and blogs are full of similar complaints internationally. According to what I have read, I am one of the lucky ones. Others have experienced much more frequent replacements. Curiously enough, the driver's side lamp is the one that blows. I have saved the last lamp replaced. It is a sylvania silverstar. This is the third brand of bulb / lamp. My wife is night blind. She tries to avoid driving after dark. The undependable lighting system poses a serious safety hazard in her case and I am sure in seniors who require more light to see clearly.
