Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 SUBARU IN 2014. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BLOW EVERY 3 MONTHS AT MOST. I REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IN NOVEMBER. THE DRIVER SIDE THEN BLEW IN DECEMBER AND NOW, IT IS FEBRUARY AND MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS BLOWN AGAIN! THIS IS JUST INSANE AND VERY ANNOYING FOR A COMMUTER THAT DRIVES OVER AN HOUR ONE WAY TO WORK AND THEN OVER AN HOUR AGAIN HOME FROM WORK IN THE DARK ON BACK ROADS WITHOUT LIGHTS.
