I'm not sure sure why the headlights keep failing, it doesn't seem to be road vibration because they most often blow just a few seconds after you start the car. Anyway the lesson of the day is Narva bulbs seem to be rubbish compared to ALDI ones.
The car does spend at least 30% of it's time driving in the dark, but on the other hand I've never in my life had a headlight bulb blow in any other car I've owned and my wife hadn't either... Usually they go for 15 years and then get so dim you just change them to get new brighter ones :! but they never blow

I blew a headlight globe at like 20,000km, I'm on pair number 3 on my Focus in 30,000km, they blow when you start the car then turn the lights on, goes really bright then pop, no light.
I drive with my lights on all the time though.
