headlight bulb question
on friday my friend gave me his H4 xenon headlights so i decided to put em in and they looked soo awesome. They were working fine the whole weekend until today. A few hours ago i went out to my car and turned it on and only my right headlight went on. The bulbs are 12V100/90W. Did i **** up my harnesses or did the bulb just burn out?

Eh, I don't think the harness would have burned out so quickly... how about you try putting one of your old bulbs back in? I've been running 100/80 on the stock harness for like a year now and its been fine. I really should get around to upgrading it though.

There could only be three options: 1. the bulb was touched and expolded prematurely 2: The bulbs were defective and just suck (like all halogen) 3. worst case-your harness is fried because of higher wattage bulbs. In that case the only way is to repair your harness if possible, so I would check your harness to see if it is damaged. Why not upgrade to HID? I contempatled getting 02 Hid lights for my 01 but instead got a Dual beam H4 4500k kit from Catz Hid that kicks @$$ . 02 Hids get stolen alot and the Catz kit is less that half the cost. Check my homepage for info.

Actually I do have High beams, the kit I have is a Dual beam kit. The high beam works flawlessly; the kit wasn't hard to install, of course if you are mechanically inclined. The bulb moves forward to create a high beam, a soleniod clicks it back and forth when you turn the high beam on. Check out liteswap.com for info.
