Something to mention here-- since its still winter.. is that you should
also clear the snow in front of your headlights before driving if you
have brighter-than-stock bulbs.

I burned out both low beam bulbs recently and I have a stinking suspicion
that it was my laziness in not brushing the snow away that caused
the headlights to be insulated well enough for the bulbs to burn out.
