Hi,

Recently I found both my stock HID lowbeams and halogan highbeams on the Left Driver Side were dead. I thought the bulbs went out and already ordered some new ones on the net ($100 right there). Someone suggested the obvious to me and I checked the fuses. It was blown. I replaced it with another 20amp fuse, and tried the lights, they didn't come on. I checked the new fuse and it already blew. What's going on? Nothing new has happened to the car recently that would potentially interfere with the lights. The only thing I can think is that my front end of the car was reconstructed about a year ago after a head-on crash, and the ballasts and stuff were reconnected by an Acura body shop. The lights and ballasts weren't broken at all. Prehaps their wiring skills weren't the best.

 

Update: (thx for helping out guys, you really rock, thanks for all the replies!)

I brought it to my dealer today and they found out the "inverter control unit" for the lights was bad and replaced it under warranty.
