Join the club Pdad....I've gone through 2 fogs and a low beam in under 6-7 mos.....and I still have the SS highs and fogs. I think the only reason the highs haven't blown yet was because I never use them. My lows/fogs work better than the highs....of course if I'd aim the lights i maybe better off.

Lakeville...I think our year and trim level come with poorly adjusted lights. Mine are so far out...and that'* after I adjusted them a bit. Had I left them where they were Bill would have borrowed the car for coon hunting.

the SS h3'* didn't last me over 2 months from what i remember.

the SS 9005s haven't been a problem (had for about a year now)

the piaa lows are still working fine for me after about 2.5 years
