Exclamation Problem with all exterior lights and horn. Need help ASAP.

So.. I got my Camaro 3 years ago it is a v6 3.4 with 226k miles condition looks brand new. The first problem noticed was that the horn would work occasionally then another time the fuse in the box would blow. It's a clear 25 fuse. Time after time I replace fuses because I never had to worry about not pressing the horn button until I got this car. A few months down the road I had a headlight out. I thought of it as just a routine headlight change. All lights working and the car looking good.. About a few weeks later.. I notice the opposite headlight is gone. Yet again I thought it was about time being as I had no idea about the past of the headlights. A month later the light I replaced first was out. With changing the headlights about once a month on each side I had to start planning it into my monthly expenses, never once in the three years I've had my camaro have the high beans gone out. Recently in the past few months both marker lights on the front have been going out, along with one marker light on the back.

Also, I noticed that one I only have one headlight. It never goes out. I have been driving around with one light for about 3 to 4 months. The week after I get a new headlight the opposite one goes.

I am driving around with one headlight and no front marker lights. Having to buy the whole light casing for camaro headlights not just the bulb is getting very expensive. I have changed both headlights a total of 12 times in the past year. I have given up all hope and am stuck with just one.

I have an idea it is a wiring problem. But I have no idea what. Whether it is related with the horn/cigar fuse blowing I have not a clue. I have spoken and shown many mechanics my car and with no answer from any of the mechanics. I'm stuck.

Please help. Anyone.

The headlights use circuit breakers instead of fuses. The breaker trip whe overloaded and reset automatically, but they can get stuck. Try replacing the breakers. (theylook like very small metal boxes).

How can you tell if the breaker is bad before I go and replace it.

You will have power on one side of the breaker, and not the other.
