2004 Toyota Corolla. My front passenger headlight goes out VERY frequently. I've had the bulb changed three times in the past few months, which seems like a lot. Any suggestions?

The bulb is not burning out. I've had it replaced very frequently, as recently as one week ago today. The highbeam light works fine, it's only the lowbeam that goes out.

It is most likely an open circuit in the pigtail (connector).

Another possibility is relay, or headlight switch.

When lights are turned on, you should hear a click from relay.
