04 tsx mirror and headlight issue

Well first to start off my left headlight hid went out so I went and bout some eBay 8000k hid. They been in my car for a month now and I'm stating to have issues. My kept headlight would work when you turn the light but then will die in a few mins. Sometimes it won't come on at all.

And now the second issue. Since the tsx have automatic mirrors when I try to move my mirrors it will not move at all. I have not check the fuzes yet because I don't know which fuze go to what.

My Acura tsx is a 6spd with 95k mileage.

Geez, I would think 8000K is way too hot. Did you check the connectors to the lamp to see if they're fried?

Our mirrors are automatic? Are you talking about our side mirrors?

Regarding your mirrors, when you move the toggle to adjust the mirrors, can you hear the motor located behind the mirror work?

I highly doubt both mirror motors are busted. Sounds like a circuit issue (i.e. fuse).

Do you happen to know which fuze it is cuz i don't have my manual and can't find a chart anywhere online. I found one for the tl but wasn't sure if it's the same and now I can't find any charts anymore

I'm actually having an issue with my left HID out too. However i havent tried replacing it with another bulb yet. Once i replace it to another bulb ill follow up on this post for you. To see if i get the same issues after the bulb is replaced. at the moment im in the process of trying to trouble shoot what the issue is, since my dealer says i need a new headlight assembly instead of just bulbs which I highly doubt. So im trying to do some trouble shooting to see if i can save myself from having to purchase a whole new assembly. ill get back to this with the results of mine

I couldn't find the exact fuse # to check, but the manual says check all by pulling them out one at a time.
