    My parents have an 01 Legacy Outback Wagon, in the last 10,000 miles they've gone through 4 or so right side headlights. Any idea what could be causing that specific bulb to keep blowing out? Thanks in Advance.

    What kind of bulbs are they using? Are they the same brand or are they trying different ones? Also, check the connector...For some reason (and I can't remember why) it seemed like some of the older Legacy/Outback models were frying connnectors and bulbs on a somewhat regular basis. If the connector is still good and they're using the same type of bulbs, it could be a bulb issue. If they're different kinds of bulbs, I'm guessing something in the electrical system, but I'm not even going to guess what it could be, as I know next to nothing about it.

    I'm pretty sure they were different brands of bulbs, I'll check the connector too.
