I've replaced the headlights (both sides) multiple times over the last 2 years, even changed brands of bulbs to see if that would help. Woke up this morning, right headlight was out again. I had another bulb leftover and tried to change it, however, the light would not come on.

I'm starting to think I have a wiring issue or maybe there's a blown fuse. Thoughts?

Any water or condensation inside the headlight/lens assembly?

This may be a stupid question but, are you wearing some sort of latex or other type of glove when touching the bulbs? The oils in your hand can cause them to burn hotter and therefore not last as long.

Always have gloves on (brand new ones each time).
