Headlight low beam bulb out, second time in 18 months. Last time both sides were replaced. Suzuki spec bulbs apparently have a very short lifespan. Inconvenient as the front bumper must be removed to access the headlight housing. Edit: I have read that the reason the headlight bulbs have the lifespan of a mayfly is due to “voltage irregularities” in the electrical system. Now, that’s troubling.
