My friend has a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with roughly 112,000 miles on it.
Mechanically, it's in pretty good condition except for one recurring problem:
She is constantly replacing taillight, brake light, or headlight bulbs. She's lucky to get one year of service after replacing any particular bulb.
No, I do not know what brand replacement bulbs she is buying but I do know she is not allowing oils from her skin to come in contact with the glass bulb before or during installation.
This dilemma seems to have repeated itself numerous times with other 2006 Sonata owners, at least based on what is posted on a couple of forums. Lots of complaints but no solution(s).
I'm guessing she should have the voltage regulator checked. And start buying Bosch long-life replacement bulbs, though that won't cure an issue in the wiring harness.
Thoughts? Other than a few of you saying "she should not have purchased a Hyundai."
