One of the light bulbs for the headlights goes out after just a few weeks after replacing them. I've replaced 10's of them. I'm thinking a regulator of some sort is not functioning. If it is a part that's needed can you tell me it's name and part number?

try cleaning your ground to the headlight, it's a black wire an dfollow it backit shold be on the leftside of frt bumper for left headlight and righ tfor right headlight. also check the relay in the underhood fuse panel to see if it's corroded. also check your headlight connection for corrosion and use top quality bulbs, cheap bulbs go out quickly.
