Headlight issues again. Wtf??

Energy One
Here's the deal, I've had 4 headlights go out in the last 3 months. First was the low beam. Replaced the bulb. Second was same thing. Replaced bulb. Third time the dealer said to replace the harness at the bulb with the new style. I did. Last night it happened again. Every time the high beam indicator comes on when the low goes out but last night the high beam Indicator light flashes and slowly got faster and faster like a stone light. Got back home and the headlight was real dim and flashing. It happens usually durring the day but I want if fixed before it screws me at night. Moto GP bike night is this weekend downtown Indy with over 10,000 bikes and prolly the same amount of cops Anyone have this issue or can help out?
Thanks

Could be the voltage regulator is allowing too high of battery charging voltage and is burning out the bulb. Check the charging voltage at the battery. should be normally around 14 volts maximum.

I would also check to see if your headlight bucket is lose. This could cause the bulb to rattle and break. Check to see if where the bulb fits in is lose or broken. When you take the bulb out if it's black (burned) it probably is an electrical issue. If it's clear with the filament broke it's a vibration problem. Good luck.
