Hi guys,

I had some trouble with my mobilus device (GPS tracking like viper) couple weeks ago. Now I realize that one of my headlight Xenon is not working anymore.

I thought the mobilus was plugged into the headlights in some way so maybe that would be the cause. I then asked honda to remove my mobilus as it wasnt used anymore.

Now the mobilus is removed and the headlights is still not work... I then checked all the fuses and there's nothing there!

I know it could get expensive if I need to change some Xenon parts. Could you guys let me know if I can do some more checks before surrender and bring the car to honda?

THANKS in advance!

 

If it's just one side, what I would do I swap parts from your other side to try and diagnose the problem . Just make sure you swap one part at a time so you can figure out what the problem is. First off swap the bulbs, still nothing, move to the ballsts, still nothing then I think you have more than a headlight issue.

 

+1 on what nate said

 

Shit thats a Hell of a job Thanks for your quick reply Nate, I will try to reserve some time to troubleshoot this!

 

Anybody had to change a headlight XENON bulbs or ballast ? How much did it cost at honda/acura dealers ??

Thanks!

 

It actually isn't all that bad. The hard part is just taking off the bumper. Then just swap bulbs and see what happens. Then if that doesn't do that, the you'll have to take off the headlights to get the ballasts off. Shouldn't take more than an hour to do all of this.

 

the oem bulbs cost about 120 and the dealer charges 120 for labor...

buy after market bulbs that will be the same things as oem but 1/4 the price and change the bulb urself

take bumper off then have to remove headlights
its not as hard as it seems
i dont do anything myself on my car i pay for almost all installs except bulb changes cuz i went through 3 diff colors and finally stopped at 6000k

 

If I was taking my car back to Montreal I'd help you out... but unfortunately momma requested me to take the train....

 

No worry guys I disassemble my car more then once its not a problem it's just a pain to IMO. I guess I will have to go with that! Thanks guys!
