So about every 2 months, my h7 bulbs go out. is this normal or is something wrong with my lights?

Not normal at all. Your headlights might be putting out too much juice or not enough. Also note, that your halogens should be running @ 55watts but will run 100 watt bulbs, sometimes this helps. Worth a shot if they are putting out too much power anyway.

I thought about trying 100 watt bulbs but was wondering if the housing would support it? I know with the higher wattage it will be significantly hotter and don't want my housinf to melt. Might not be so good. Anyone know if the house will support 100?
