Default Accord eats lightbulbs

My accord is going through lightbulbs every 3-6 months depending on if I buy the 20 dollar ones or 40 dollar ones, is this usual? Pieces of junk.

Had the same problem on my 00 accord v6 i had the car for one year and went through 5 sets off bulbs. you have to make sure you dont touch the bulb upon instal and also get the same wattage as stock ones

I never touch it, Could their be something inside the bulb area that hits it and "infects" it?

hows your headlights housing?

things like that can happend when you get water and dirt in there causing the lights to die faster.

i go through 3 sets a year cause my right headlight has this 2 inch hole in it.

def check to see if its sealing correctly and that you dont touch it.

how often do you use your lights? every night?

if you have doubts that it is sealing correctly put an extra rubber seal from one of the old lights on too.
