I have that problem too. I think it is all of the extra vibration going through the car (exhaust, motor mount inserts). I wonder if it makes a difference if you turn your lights on before you start the car??? My thought is that maybe the elements are cold(brittle) and vibrating and then bam you make them hot it may decrease the life (mine have always gone out when I turned them on right away). I don't know just a thought

Take it to the dealer. There was a recall on the headlight harness melting out.

No they better not. It's the stock wire that's messed up.
