Default XB keeps blowing headlights...

my xb lights keep blowing. first it was the driver low....then they high and low were BOTH out....got them fixed about 2 weeks ago, now the low is out again. Its getting rediculous...think it could be in the wiring??
(assembly is after market angels if that makes a differance...)

It's the aftermarket headlights or the install. Stock ones don't do that.

I bought a set of yellow bulbs and installed them in the dual halo projectors and one of them blew. The light sucked with the projectors anyway, so I just cleared the stock lights and got some Silverstars and couldn't be happier.
