Preventive Measures:

Use High-Quality Bulbs: Invest in bulbs with longer lifespans to reduce frequent replacements.
Minimize Vibrations: Ensure bulbs are securely installed to reduce the effect of vibrations, especially if you drive off-road frequently.
Avoid Touching Halogen Bulbs with Bare Hands: Skin oils can cause halogen bulbs to fail prematurely due to hot spots.
Check for Moisture: Regularly inspect the headlights and other light housings for moisture buildup.
Maintain Electrical Connections: Inspect and clean electrical connections to avoid power fluctuations that could lead to bulb failure.
