Re: Headlights keep going out on my 99 firebird

I have the EXACT same problem!
My only thing is that everytime one of my headlights go out (for less
than 3 days if I happen to notice it quickly) I get pulled over. Which
happened last night. My drivers side headlight went out, immediately
pulled over. The officer just said "get it fixed" and I kindly let him
know that these cars "eat" headlights and I had everything to fix it
in the car. They don't sell the bulb at walmart anymore and the auto
parts stores were closed at 8:30 last night. THEN on the way home my
other bulb went out! I had to drive on high beam all the way home too!
I go through every bulb in about a 3 month cycle. I don't think the
Sylvania brand I have been using is a quality bulb anymore. I am going
to look for another brand.

I have the occasional drop on voltage on the alternator, but it still
has a lot of life in it. I have had 3 Camaros and this 99 firebird and
know all about alternators failing. If the belt gets wet and it slips,
then the voltage drops, but it soon picks back up. So not an
alternator issue. Thats just the nature of the beast.
