Default headlight burnout

hey guys I'm new to your forum and have a problem. I have a 98 civic ex and the drivers side low beam keeps burning out. It just started happening out of nowhere, I put a new bulb in and it just burns out intsantly. Getting kinda spendy replacing bulbs hoping one will hold up, not to mention the driver side one is a kind of a pain to get to. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Tom

i had the same problem w/cheap bulbs (nokya,apc) i would either use o.e. one from the dealer, our sylvania's. if you have already tried this, or the problem keep occuring, you might want to take it to the shop and have someone look at your wiring.

if your looking for brighter, our stylish bulbs then i would try raybrig, polarg, piaa, or sylvania(silverstars).

well hope this helps, good luck!
