HIDs

Cheap bulbs are kinda like replacing your Focals with some Wal-Mart specials.

nokyas are on your bad last but for the money they are generally agreed to be the best. i would fully agree and now have them on most of my friends cars as well after they saw mine.

piaa and polarg and the other japanese brands are the best but they cost a lot (but not really if you are using 1 set for longer than several sets of cheap ones).

are you sure you arent touching the glass when you install them? do you have underdrive pulleys or anything? that seems too fast for all those to be burning out. also, are you trying to use 100W bulbs, because without upgrading the wiring the most you want to run is 85.

finally, there are at least a dozen threads discussing bulbs.

This topic is getting soo repetive...Nokya's were in my car for 7 months shining sweet and I do alot of night driving, and for 15.00 i think they are the best for the money. Also Raybrig and Polarg are pretty decent but cost a little more money. One of the best mod's i've done to my car soo far is HID's...Instead of changing your bulbs every 2-3 months (Thats seems like an awful lot) Why dont you just SAVE up for HID's ? There really not that expensive in perspective to how many cheep bulbs your buying. And also you will really appreciate the look and the extra visibility you get at night. I pull up next to cars with hyperwhites, superwhites whatever u wanna call them and there lights look piss yellow and weak as hell compared to mine :P

Theres the problem. Wires or harnesses are probably fried on that passenger side.

You know, everyone keeps talking about this but I don't really think it's a problem. I would bet the wire on the high/low beams is the same guage. I would be more worried about just blowing a fuse. If you don't blow a fuse, I doubt you have anything to worry about.
