Excessive headlamp replacement
 
I replace a burned out headlamp bulb just about every month. My parts store clerk told me they sell a ton of bulbs for the Mazda 6s. We live in western Washington, so lots of wet road driving. Last winter we took a half dozen bulbs with us for an extended stay in Mazatlan. No rain-not one burned out bulb in seven months. We're back in Washington for a week, three straight days of rain and a burned out bulb already.

Has anyone experienced the bulb problem? Has anyone found a fix for it? Doe anyone know if it is a moisture problem, or my imagination? Thanks for any help.:confused:

No problems here. Had my 05 6s for 3 years now and only needed to replace the bulbs once. I'd check for moisture in the housing or exposed wire that might be leading to some sort of electrical problem with ur lights. I'm not an electrical expert, but those are what i'd check. Also be certain that you're not touching the bulbs with your skin when you put them in, the oils from your skin can cause issues as well.
