If your voltage regulator has failed, the high current in your system could cook your filaments (as well as your electronics). Have you used a VOM to measure system voltage when the engine is reved to normal driving rpm (idle rpm may not reveal a problem) -- I know the battery is in the trunk (at least in later models), but you can check the 12 v. socket in the passenger compartment while you step on the gas pedal.
