Can a Burned-Out Bulb Indicate a Bigger Electrical Issue in a Toyota Camry?

If bulbs frequently fail in the same headlight o r taillight, does it suggest a faulty relay, wiring harness damage, o r moisture leakage inside the housing?

Yes, repeated bulb failures in the same light headlight, taillight, etc. could signal an underlying electrical issue, such as:

Faulty Relay: A malfunctioning relay can cause the circuit to send too much power to the bulbs.
Wiring Harness Damage: Wear o r damage to the wiring can result in a short, which could burn out bulbs.
Moisture Leakage: Moisture inside the headlight housing can cause electrical shorts o r rust, which can lead to bulb failure.
