I have a 2000 Mazda Protege ES with 180k miles on it.
Last June one of my low beams burnt out. So, as a precaution, I replace ALL the bulbs including tail lights, etc.
I used Sylvania XtraVision as replacement headlamps.... pretty standard 2003 bulb
Surely this is unusual given both bulbs out and such low life, yes? Or does this actually happen more than I think?
Question.... what abt replacing them with LED units that have super long life? I am university student and don't like working on cars or have much time for it?
Bottom line....chalk it up to happenstance and put another set of Sylvania bulbs at $18? Or maybe look for other cause or go LED?
