Headlight

Ive changed my headlights about 3 times in the past year and a half. First, after the stock ones (i think they were stock) I bought these blue ones from Advance (cant remember name) and then one of them went out so I replaced them both with Sylvania Xtra Vision or Silverstar headlights...Now the passenger side is out. Could it be a fuse? I dont remember headlights going out this much especially after spending $50 each time! What do I do?

first and foremost is you have to becareful when installing halogen light bulbs. They heat up and any oil or dirt from your fingers will cause it to blow.

if not then you have an electrical problem. Check your connections (ie, battery, the part that plugs into the base of the bulb and the wiring its self to make sure there is no frays.)

sounds like you may be touching the glass on the bulbs and causing them to burn out prematurely, or the bulbs don't have a good ground.

Is moisture getting into your headlight?

the silverstars or ultras..might be brighter but last a lot less than traditional halogen..
i work at an autoparts and we get complaints all the time..
either stick to ur halogen or get HIDz..unless u wanna keep payin 50 bucks a pair for thoze..
i had the same problem on my accord, and my CL, same problem..but i put HIDz on my CL and back to the yellow halogenz on the accord..and they have been fine for about 8 monthz now..
