There are many threads on this issue. This is a common problem with H7
bulbs and is not exclusive to Hyundai. You might try different brands to
see if bulb life improves, but others have reported little difference, if
I recall correctly.

The life he's getting seems to be about average (~6 months). I've tried
several brands and so far, only Hella has lasted longer than the
average, but that was only one set of bulbs, so it may be an anomaly.
I'm on my second set of Hella bulbs now, but a different model that's
rated at a higher life, so we'll see what happens 6 months or so down
the line.
