Default 2008 Aveo Headlights failing

I have a 2008 Aveo and have had to replace the headlights about every 2 months for the last year or so.. When they fail it is only the low beam or driving lights that wont work, the high beams are fine. They dont both fail at the same time. One and then the other... also the clock works when it feels like it.. sometimes yes sometimes no.. depends on its mood.... I have searched all over and can not find any reports of this happening in 2008.. does anyone have any ideas.

An electrical issue is another possibility. How is the battery?

I would suggest taking the vehicle in for an inspection. A certified technician will be able to offer more information after a physical inspection.
