Headlight burnout

carvalho360 · 02-03-2016, 04:40 PM

Confused and trying to avoid getting scammed by my local nissan. 3rd time now either my left or right headlight burn out. When turning them on, or it switching to auto, it'll spark on but immediately go out. Nissan told me it wasn't the right ballast or that the voltage wasn't right and then told me 800 was the quote to fix. Needless to say I declined. But even when i had OEM lights the same issue happened and I had a local shop replace it. less than 5,000 miles later those burned out. Local garage won't fix/too much of a hassle to get back there and argue.

After changing they'll both work fine for a couple thousand miles... but eventually one burns out it seems.

Anyone know how I can track this down or what a legitimate price estimate would be to assess the problem and correct it. Any help is appreciated!
