I'm having issue with my 2007 Lexus sc 430 I keep replacing my front drivers side hid light but after a week or two it goes out again what could be the problem?
I'm also having the same problem with my reverse lights

Are you using LED lights, or the OEM (factory) lights? For the actual HID system (low beam headlight), it could be a ballast problem. Reverse light should be incandescent unless you've changed it, and I don't see how they headlight and reverse light problems can be linked. Might be two separate problems.

Sounds like a vibration issue - if your headlamp unit is lose the vibration will kill incandescent lights in no time whatsoever....

Welcome to the forum.

Are the bulbs burning out or do they just quit shining?
