front light bulbs constant dying

Any specific issue making the front lights bulbs dying (high+low beam, parking etc). They go one by one between a few weeks a time. Car gone 200k km. Replaced them carefully with paper tissue not touching glass parts..

You have an electricity problem. The bulb is getting too hot because too much current is running through it. Fix that first

need more specifics... both sides? HID?

could be several issues... may be a grounding issue or voltage/ current... do you have any error codes? have your upgraded bulbs to LED?

Original lights halogen, all of them have gone once some twice since taken over car both sides. Don't have a diagnostic reader unfortunately. No other issues really.

Thx for reply guys.

Can't speak into how it is in the EU but, in the states, the chain auto parts stores will scan codes for free. Might be worthwhile if it's the same in the EU.

Dumb question but are you using a compatible bulb?

Do you access to a multimeter?
