2013 Hyundai Veloster base model.
I changed my blown headlight bulb, but the bulb goes out sporadically. I assume it is the connection because I can repeat the process and get it to work. Bulb does not look burned out. It is difficult to get my hand in place to tighten it. It went out again today, but now I haven't been able to get it to work again. I've read in some forums about "headlight fluid" in a Honda CRV. What is that? I've never heard of it.

Headlight fluid is a prank. Don't listen to them. The headlight bulbs can get insanely hot. For that reason, you need to make sure you don't get fingerprints on the glass part of the bulb. Other than that, it could be a sign of too much voltage. The alternator regulator may have malfunctioned. Have the battery voltage checked with a meter with the motor running and rev the engine. 13.5V to 14.5V is normal. If you see higher, your alternator regulator could be bad. Older alternators usually had the voltage regulator separate or on the outside of the alternator. Cars these days usually have alternators with the regulator built in. Check to see if the regulator can be replaced instead of the entire alternator. It will save money.
Hope this helps.
Thanks! You are offering a valuable service. Great idea for Steemit!
It turns out the bulb was burned out, but it was only about 6 months old.
