OK I dont know if it's the weather or what but my fuckin bulbs keeps goin out on me. last night I got off work and my right one goes out.....so I replace it with a spare, since I had an extra left over from the last ones that burnt out. then when coming home after some boozin...the fuckin left one goes out forcing my to drive home with one head light. Is this happening to anyone else? I getting sick of spending $40 a pop for these gay ass lights. Yeah i can take it back but it's a bitch driving 45 min to a local import shop.

I gave up on hyper white bulbs and just have stock ones now but i noticed my right one was giving me problems. It just kept blowing bulbs like once a week. It has stopped but im not sure what it was.

All the cheaper "super white" bulbs are gonna burn out quickly, especially the higher wattage ones. If you really want the super white bulbs, spend a little more on the Piaa ones, I guess they last a little longer.

this may sound stupid or insulting but its not meant to be....

do you touch the bulbs with your fingers?! the oils in your hand react with the bulbs energy and blow out easily... you have to either use a clean towel over bulb to put them in or wipe them with alchohol after installing them... If this is not problem... maybe you have a leak.... ???

Had the same problem. I was trying to put on low beam 80W bulbs. And every 2-3weeks one and then second one would blow up. I ended up with 55W Blue Diamond Coat from J.C.Whitney. They look white and match my fogs.

Now that you mention it I had just done my headlight housings and the one bulb that kept blowing was the one housing that fogged up. I just thought i screwed up the socket when i pulled the housings out

by chance did you make sure that it was completely sealed again... clobbed on silicon or whatever?!

Yeah i resealed it and its been fine and it has been humid and rainy here. I guess i just didnt think of the moisture doing it even though the bulbs stopped blowing when i resealed it. Im dumb what can i say but atleast i know better than to touch the bulbs

very well could be.. lights are sensitive... I had Xenon for like 2 years and not one blown bulb... Finally last month one burned and i converted to platinum PIAAs... no probs yet...

the only bulbs that burned on me constantly were aftermarket fogs.... so i disconnected them...

when i use to work at a shop, people came in w/ blown bulbs all the time. I had went through a few sets myself. I've been running stock bulbs for over a year now and i love them. I'm not a big fan of aftermarket lights. 1) EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS have them. 2) they blow all the time

you guys mean hiper not hyper right? Sorry couldnt resist.

Anyways, I've had no problems with the hiper bulbs in neither my CL nor my gf's solara. We both had them for near a year with no troubles until I got kinda bored and bought some PIAA extremes for her and plasmas for myself. Dunno, I guess it is just a luck of the draw sort of thing.

It had happen to me before on my old accord.
The reason being the reflector cap inside the headlight housing (the thingy that reflect light to the housing) has some chips sticking out and scratch the bulb and cause it to burn out.
A few of my friends who drive acura/honda has the same problem.
