Were the fuses blown? Do the high beams work?  
Are you using brand name replacement bulbs?

Having the same problem with my daughters 06 CRV, except it’s all bulbs. . I hooked volt meter to connections and got good and steady voltages with car running. I’ve been using Sylvania bulbs. There is no moisture in the headlight housings. That is important. I am not touching bulbs with my skin. My next plan of action is to replace the connectors and possibly the housings. I think maybe there is too much vibration from bulb to housing retainer. Please post if you found a solution.

That’s one of the first signs that the multi-function switch is beginning to fail.

That’s interesting. Can you explain how a multi function switch can cause bulb failure?

That’s interesting?

Nowhere does the OP state that the bulbs keep failing?
