Exclamation head lights burn out

I have a altima 05 and my front low beams keep burning out every 2 months and I 'm sick of replacing the bulbs could anyone tell me what is causing the problem?

Are you using factory bulbs? do you have any aftermarket accessories?

Sounds like your wiring harness might have a short in it.

You can replaced just the connector. The dealer sells just the connector with a small piece of wire.

Sorry for the questions, but do you have Xenon or Halogens lights?
