    There is high resistance in the circuit.Probably at the plug.

    Contrary to what you might think,this can make the current thru the bulb higher than normal.

    This happens because the resistance of the bulb itself  changes w/temperature.

    Initially,the bulb is cold/low resistance but quickly heats to a higher resistance.

    When there is unwanted resistance in the wiring,the bulb heats less(more slowly too)and has less than normal R.

    The overall effect is less circuit resistance and too much current thru the bulb.

    I would change the plug.

    Just ordered a new plug, I'm going to try this first!

  2. The driver's side headlight of my Loyale has gone through three bulbs in less than a year; the last of which lasted only three weeks. The bulbs do not appear damaged after they burn out, and I am careful not to touch the bulbs when installing them. I have not had any issues with the headlight on the passenger side (and that one even has some moisture in it). Any thoughts on why this could be happening? I have not done any voltage testing yet.

    Thank you!

  3. The speakers in my Loyale occasionally go in-and-out, or give a buzzing noise when sound goes through them;  this all mostly happens on the passenger side. I have noticed that when I press certain buttons in the car, it affects the speakers, sometimes causing them to start working normally. This is what has had an effect: Pressing the 4wd button (not even all the way), adjusting the electric mirrors, raising or lowering the passenger-side window, and opening/shutting the passenger door (it may be the seat belt that does it). I have replaced the speaker in that door, and the problem has not changed. It was working fine for several weeks up until recently. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks!
