bulbs need new based on age

do you have moisture inside headlight lens?--that drips out onto the ballast and kills it

when you remove the headlight housing from the car- the light parts are attached to the back
the silver box is the ~control unit~ (capacitor?)
I dont have the right name, but an acura tech on here says that its often water damaged and the cause of light failure even after new ballast installed

with aftermarket kit, that part is also replaced so everything is new and prob is solved.

add the relay kit for dedicated power, and bypass the TL relay box to avoid any issues on different power needs
