Red face I am such a tool!

I posted earlier about loosing both my low beams. Got some great help in that post for which I am grateful. While checking my local NAPA for a price check on a new headlight switch and after getting the details he asks if I checked my bulbs as losing one bulb could cause the other one to go out. In 35 years of driving I have never lost or heard of both bulbs burning out at once. Sure enough both bulbs out. Year and a half use on the Sylvania Ultras. Not going to spend that money again.

You are lucky to have them last that long. They seem to burn out a lot faster for many people. Mine died 6 months in and they died withing a couple days of each other.
