its hard to change your bulbs, its in a really hard place to reach. if your hands are too big, take the headlights out.

i had the same problem where my regular headlights went out and everything else was good (high beams, turn signals etc.) check your fuses in the fuse box under the hood top left corner. the fuse box cover has a mini diagram on which fuse goes to which light check to make sure the fuse isnt blown if not then go with the take the headlight out option and switch the bulb. (i learned this the hard way buying expensive *** aftermarket headlights when all that was wrong were the fuses lol)

For Passenger side, you might have to remove the battery to get better access.

Your Owner's Manual has detailed instructions on how to remove the bulbs.

Yea, I had those and they would never last more than a year. I started using the cheaper Sylvania Cool Blue blubs and they last far longer.
