I have a car that the passenger side headlight burns out quickly - roughly 2-3 months for it to burn out and it's been changed 3 times so far. The high beam works, but the low beam does not work. Same headlight, Same side, Same problem.
Any suggestions on what I should look into fixing it? Is changing wires the only option I have or is there something else I should try before changing the wiring?

Before going too nuts a question and something to do: Does this lens get damp or show fog inside even water? Gotta fix that if it take a new lens.
Don't touch bulbs by the glass of them ever! Sounds whacked but they don't like the grease even normal from your hands. Use paper or something to grab if needed.
Look at the plug and connection socket/plug. If corroded or dirty I'd clean that and grease that with "bulb grease" or might have to replace just a pig-tail of that,
