my 02 altima's passenger headlight keeps burning! it's the 3rd time this year! the stock bulbs burned out, then i bought a bright sylvania bulb, and that went out...I thought maybe i'd try it again, and i got a pair of the same bright sylvanias for both headlights...about 5months later the passenger went out again! the driver's side is still working...i went to the dealership and they said that the headlight recall was not for my car (they asked for my VIN number)...so is that true? the recall is only for certain cars not all 2002s? anyways, I checked to see if there was any rust or bad wiring...everything seemed normal...what you guys suggest?

make sure the mount is tight, sometimes if you put the bulb back in wrong it can jiggle around, thus weakening the fillament.
