2016 Honda Fit Driver Side Headlight
Hi,
I deliver newspapers at night and my drivers side headlight (lowbeam) keeps going out. I have to replace it every month it seems. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks

If memory serves, there's a hold-down wire that keeps the bulb seated, and a rubber seal to keep out the elements.
If you're going through headlights every month, my guess is:
1. Hold-down wire isn't holding and bulb moves around, resulting in early burnout. Might need replacement.
2. Rubber seal is not sealing and you're getting water intrusion into the bulb area, resulting in early burnout. Also might need replacement.
This all assumes the headlight area has not been crashed or damaged.
The parts are probably not that expensive compared to labor costs for diagnosis and replacement.
