Probably a stupid question, but I'm electrically retarded :bang:

My right headlight is out, but when I shine the brights, it lights up just fine, and I think its only one bulb...??? Does this mean its a fuse or something..???

Why not upgrade your lights? Go to Autozone and buy a pair of Sylvania "Silverstar" bulbs. Guarantee you will notice an improvment :spot:


I have Xenon (I think) bulbs in there now, got them off ebay, only been in for about a year...that normal???

I used cheap lights like that and I replaced them (fogs and headlights) like 5x in 2 years. So I went with Sylvania, the headlights are 1.5 years old and the Sylvania fogs died because of a manufacturer's defect but they will send me a free set once they fix it.
 
Xenon (hyperwhites, blues) bulbs have a high failure rate, usually due to cheap manufacturing processes. I have been through a bazillion different Xenons for different cars, and the best deal I have found is for Eurodesignz on ebay; you can usually get them for $10-20, and they have a lifetime warranty through the company. All you have to do is send them the burnt bulbs and they will send you a new pair. Check them out.

Doesn't that suck having to wait for head lights? :shrug:
so dark :(
 
I threw in a set of Silvania Superstar( or was is Silverstar...??) the best ones...and they look like 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me' compared to my Xenons!!! According to the guy at Autozone, and the little picture on the box, they are supposed to be really bright and white...but damn, mine look almost like stock!! $40 down the drain :notnice:

The xenon or whatever's I bought (Eurolite's actually) kept breaking every few months. Pain in the butt. My Silverstars aren't white during the day but at night they are white and bright as heck. Oh, the best part is they haven't broken in 1.5 years.
