Default Car question?

Hey any car experts out there?

I have an 05 Chevy Classic and the front left headlight isn't working. I just replaced it and its out again. When I first put the new bulb in the headlight would work sporatically, then it worked well for 2-3 weeks, but now it won't turn on at all.

Anyone have any clue if there could be something wrong with the wiring? How to fix it?

Thanks!

Try to find the correct bulb. And do not touch the bulb with your fingers. The oils on your hand apparently distroys it (even though it is complete sealed and air tight).

I would suggest checking the corrector for corrosion. Also inspect the wires in the connector to see if they are damaged or lose.

Did you check the fuse box?

Thanks everyone...I have not touched the bulb, and it is the correct one. It worked well for about 2 weeks before this happened.

Haven't checked the fusebox either...I will do that.

I noticed some wires are exposed, so I think that might have something to do with it.

I appreciate the feedback.
