Parking Lights Keep Burning Out

Is anyone else having this problem with the front corner parking lights? Seems like one burns out every 2-3 months? I have had a '99 Saturn that has every stock bulb still in it, does anyone know why these parking lights keep going out?

never had that happen but change up the harness that the bulb is connected to. If you constantly use OEM bulbs (whatever they are) and they keep going out, it most likely has a lot to do with the harness/relay/connector. Maybe the relay/fuse is giving it too much power and killing its life. Just a thought.

Happens to me too. Dont know what causes this but probably the harness. I thought I was the only one.

Not saying this is your problem but a common cause of bulb burning out is a faulty regulator. The voltage will climb to high and cause the bulb to burn out.

Thanks guys, I plan on just switching over to LED's to see if this fizes the problem, they only draw a fraction of the wattage os if it is jumping, for some reason, the LED low wattage draw should help.....i think
