what the f@(k...always the same headlight

the drivers side headlight bulb always burns out first. the passenger bulb lasts longer i dont know why. on stock bulbs, and with sylvania cool blue bulbs too. anyone have any ideas why it does that? just curious.

I have DRL on my car. with my stock housings the sylvania cool blues lasted me for a long time.. i still have them lying around my house since i installed the projectors.. and my bulbs in the projector have not burned out yet... maybe your problem is the harness itself or a faulty fuse, because i see a lot of people have problems with bulbs

have you ever noticed that on all cars, one headlight is slightly brighter? I forgot which side tho...prolly the drivers and it shines to the right...
I think that might be it...
