Low beam headlight bulbs (h7) fail every other month. I've spent about 150-200 us dollars every year on headlight bulbs since I bought the car new in 2007. Wiring harness for h7 bulb show signs of excessive heat (melting and burn marks) on plastic and metal parts. I've always used nitrile gloves, paper towels, and bulb grease (di-electric) to install bulbs and wiring harness. Despite all the precautions working with these bulbs they always fail within 3 or 4 months. The concern is safety and preventing an accident due to defective parts.

The bulbs in my headlamps constantly need replacing. I have replaced them on average twice a year since I purchased the vehicle, which has increased in frequency the last two years to 5 month intervals. I have a standing relationship with my electrician/mechanic, who almost knows me on a first name basis. He never finds anything wrong, in terms of a short in the wires.....just continues to change the bulbs and pocket my money. This last time both bulbs blew out within a week of one another. There was one instance when I was unaware that a bulb had blown and incurred a "fix it" ticket. There should definitely be a recall for this issue, as I suspect there is either a short or outright flaw in the electrical system.
I have been having issues with my low beam headlight not working. I have had to replaced the light bulbs every 3-4 months for the past year. The first couple of times I was told the person installing the light bulbs were not doing it properly and that was the issue. Recently, I have been advised that the adapter is the issue and because it has the electric wires connected to it I have to pay for electrical work. To save money I thought I could buy the part myself but, after going to 4 different auto stores who did not have the part I was forced to come online. This is when I discovered that I'm not the only one with this issue. I think suzuki should place a recall on this issue.
The low beam headlights in our suzuki grand vitara went out completely. I have had problems before with a single bulb burning out which I replaced. They are burning out much more rapidly now and becoming a constant problem of having to replace the low beam headlights. Now, both low beam headlights stopped working the other day as we were driving back at night which forced me to use my high beam headlights to get home safely. I have researched online and have seen that this is a common problem many suzuki owners are having but suzuki is refusing to acknowledge it and put out a recall on the issue.
My headlight has blown out 3 times within 6 months. I have replaced them but now I tried to replace my headlight and it won't work, my headlight doesn't even come on. I am thinking its the wiring and I looked online and I seen that multiple people have had this same problem. It is crazy because I shouldn't have to replace my headlight that many times in a year. I contacted suzuki and they said they can't help me without making me pay the amount, I shouldn't have to pay for this parts and labor when they are aware of this problem because they said they have heard that before.
Low beam headlamps keep blowing every 2 months or so, bulb brand does not seem to effect longevity. It is extremely dangerous when the bulbs blow and you live out in the county where it's pitch black at night!!! And then have to switch to high beams and blind other drivers!!! Just to get to a safe place to replace the bulbs. Will never own another suzuki again and can't wait to afford to trade this death trap off!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suzuki dealer says "it is normal"
