2 days ago i noticed that my left headlight and right fog light went out. I've got no clue why this happent. The dealership said that the bulbs are burnt out but i just don't think that can be possible because i put the xenons on a year ago and the fog light bulbs have only been on for about 14 months.

Is there anyway that i can possibly check this on my own without having to pay $50 from the stealership to run a diagnostics test?


kthnxbye.

 

switch the bulbs from the other side

 

 

No shit. I was asking if this could possibly have been an electrical problem.

 

if it lights up after you switch the bulbs than it was just a coincident

 

and if the dealer said they're burnt out, they probably are

 

Once the rain/snow stops ill probably just try to re-plug them in. I've got no clue how im going to get to the fog light bulb though.

 

Hope your fogs don't look like mine, they had to come off with the bumper



That's how they come off though, there's 4 screws holding them to the brackets, then a bunch holding the plate down seen in pic, my screws were rusted and fused to the bracket

 

I had mine put on last april so they shouldn't be too bad. I dont know what im going to do if the fogs are gone because not only do they not sell bulbs for them anymore at acura but i cant remember exacly where the guy i bought them from got the ion yellow bulbs from.

 

There's always ebay

 

i like your payless shoes! lol

 

Those are sketchers beotch

And they're my beater shoes, I have steel toed sketcher tennis shoes for work And they're the total sleeper in case someone pisses me off

 

There would have to be an easier way... Bulbs burn out, and I can't imagine a car company mandating that you have to remove the bumper cover to get to the lamp backs. That is rediculous.

But, I will say, the C-clip on the back side of the 98 9005-9006 lamps is a real pain in the ass.

 

the HL clips are a pain, but the only reason I removed my bumper for the fogs was cuz the screws were so rusted and fused to the bracket

Like I said above, there's 4 screws that hold the light to the bracket, my choices were cut with a dremel which I started to do, or just remove the bumper which I was doing anyway, those fogs are done for oem fogs

 

Damn this is really annoying. I wish i could just order one bulb or each instead of having to order 2. That is really going to piss me off.

 

What kinda bulbs you need? I have extras

 

For my Fog lights i need Plasma Ion Yellow and for the headlights i need super white (originally made by APC).

 

Do you have the bulb numbers. I am sure you can still get them... Even if Acura doesn't have them... somebody does.

 

I hate to say it, but a year is fairly normal for aftermarket bulbs Buying hte 2 pack of bulbs isnt too bad, just hang on to the other one. I garauntee if one goes the other is never far behind-

 

and if you search ebay, you'll find yellow ion fog bulbs and apc super white bulbs very easily

 

Yeah i bet i can find some stuff pretty easily. Im going to try to unplug-re-plug the battery once i get the time.

 

G'luck findin 30-45 seconds to do that
