Re: Headlights keep going out on my 99 firebird

Try a different brand of headlights. I had the same issue on my 96 Z28. I 
went through 3 sets in 18 months. I have a set of Wagners in the car now
and 
they've been in for about 3 years.

My car uses the old style headlights, so I don't know if Wagner makes
bulbs 
for the newer style cars, but at least try something different than you
have 
now.
