Head lamp Issue

Hello Guys not sure if this question was posted, but im freaking out because my bulb went out while driving. I stopped the car, popped the hood. Took off the plastic cover which revealed a rubber cover that goes directly behind the hid bulb. I noticed the rubber cover was fried in the inside which melted a bit. My question is does ACURA cover that under an extended warranty. I checked the sample online and It did not say anything about the rubber connector to the bulb. Any one have knowledge on this. Much appreciate people !

If you're referring to the rubber or hard plastic piece that attaches behind the HID bulb, then that's the igniter. This part is roughly $167 online. Also consider if the igniter has melted, it may have damaged the bulb too.
What year and how many miles on your tsx?

Hey there

Thanks for getting back to me. Indeed its the ignitor. I took it to Acura, and I got it replaced for free due to the extended warranty, as I checked prices they were a little pricey. I have 50000 miles on my 2005 tsx. I also just got my car sponsored on cs.com check it out. Ill be providing updates as i get more work done. I am buying two headlight fixtures euro design blacked out, with clear signals, just because I noticed that one side is brighter then the other. i think its because of the balancers, but the car is 5 years old so parts may need replacing. I really want a turbo in my car but am not sure how to go about this. Any ideas bro ?


Thanks,

Evan
