When i first started replacing factory bulbs with aftermarket bulbs, they blew quite often. They told me this was notorious in subarus. I've just recently bought some HIDs and they have blown also. They sent me replacement bulbs, but I know they will not keep doing this. Has anyone else alleviated this problem somehow??

thats not the problem
What do you consider quite often? Aftermarket bulbs with higher output will burn out much faster then OEM bulbs.
a month?
This I know. I need a remedy before i install the replacement bulbs.
Do you have a multimeter?

What do the new bulbs require? Do the stock bulbs die like the aftermarket ones?
