ya make sure that when you put in new bulbs you are wearing some sort of latex gloves. oil from your skin creates hot spots and causes the bulb to burn out faster. also, aftermarket bulbs tend to burn out really fast, unless you get some expensive brand bulbs.

Ive tried all sorts of bulbs and never have touched them..this isnt my only car..my Civic and CRX never had any problems .....I dunno...I thought maybe it was a prelude thing.

Voltage regulator, maybe? I've seen a similar problem on another car (not Honda) - Most electronics have built in voltagre regulation to protect them, hence wont blow, but things like bulbs are vulnerable.
Just a thought.

Re: headlights keep burning out on 5th GEN WTF (SiShane)
is it both or just one if its both it might be a ground becasue they share a common ground. if its just one then thats not very likely. also check and make sure you have the right amp fuse. i think it is supposed to be like a 20a? if you got too high highly amped of a fuse then it could alow to much current to flow and cause the buld to blow.
just a couple thoughts.

Consider upgrading your wiring harness if you are using aftermarket bulbs.

For aftermarket bulbs, Raybrig has lasted the longest for me.
