if you touch the bulb, the oils from your fingers can burn out the bulb faster. i presume you have the aftermarket bulbs that use h4s??

Yea i think so. is there any way i can tell if the bulbs are burnt without actually taking them out. i checked the fuses...they seem to be fine

i have come to realize that the bulbs are not burnt .. where is the fuse for the headlights? and if its a wiring problem, can i get to the wires to see whats wrong?
