Default Anyone have projectors?

I have myslef a pair of projector headlights for my 02 Accord, and basiclly all of the bulbs have blown after less then 3 months. i got a new set from the store where i bought thinking that this pair was just a defect. is there anything i can do to make sure these bulbs don't blow too? also when installing is it really nessesary to put on the 2 bolts underneath the headlight? there a pain to get on and off and dont seem like they have an effect on headlight.

What kind of bulbs are you using? Those cheap **** hyper white bulbs from Autozone or wherever suck *****. I've had like 3 pairs myself, none of which have lasted more than 5 months. You honestly get what you pay for.

Don't use eurolite either they suck donkey ****! use silverstars, they are awsome....but for burning bulbs, if it were the stock bulbs maybe the projector housing is to small and the bulbs over heat.....
