I think the stock headlights just suck. I've never had good luck with them, as they go out as often as yours. I just quit buying the whole assembly, and started replacing the bulbs instead.

i buy the headlight from autozone its not stock, do you mean the bulb inside the headlight? how would you know which one it is since the only thing auto parts stores tell you you need id the headlight that costs 28$ each time? thanks for your help

Those are the ones I'm talking about. They don't last long. Yes, I'm talking about the actual bulb. Lows are 9006, and highs are 9005.

Here is a walkthrough. It's fairly easy. http://forum.camarov6.com/showthread.php?t=81804

I'm having the same problem with my 1995. I've had prob 4 bulbs blown and it hasnt even been a year yet. I was wondering if water was getting into my headlight but its happend to the left and the right. First my left one blew, then the right, then the left, then the right. So that kind of shot out that theory of the water. I was wondering I had a short in my electrical system. But idk, I havent been able to check. Let me know if u find something out before I do.

Yea, I have been having the exact same problems with my low beam head lights. I couldn't tell you how many times I've replaced them over the 2 year span i've owned my 94 RS.

Wow I never had that problem with either of my Camaros, I owned my first one for 14 months and only did the passeneger side low beam. Did both at the same time on the Z though...it was wierd.... The only thing Ive noticed is that blinker bulbs and foglight bulbs dont like to stay in their little twist in assembly things. I lost a foglight on my firebird because it felll out... wtf haha.
