    Blown Headlight Bulbs 7th Gen 2.2 EX

    I think I spoke too soon, I was right the first time after I installed the HID Kit only one side was working I knew I had the connections right its only 2 wires after all, anyway after a brief stop tonight I got back into the car and I only had one headlight which was a bit disappointing...

    Yes seller seems happy to help in this case too, not sure what the problem is, wires are in the right place so I suspect the Ballast or the Bulb wil update tomorrow. I was wrong about the auto setting the lights are working on auto as well.

    Well I fitted the HID's Kit today alot easier than I thought it would be, anyway there is only one side working, I checked the fuses etc and refitted the original Halogen Bulb back in to see if all was ok with the circuit, and it was ok, so it seems there may be a problem with the Ballast or the...

    So do I need to use some form of spade terminal connector to bridge the connection to the HID Kit, the Kit I have has a Red push fit connector with 2 tiny male connectors inside one positive the other negative?

    To be honest I ***umed that the push fit connector on the HID Kit would just push fit into the Honda's Headlight loom?

    Yes I am going to Drill the rear headlight covers, I couldn't see the headlight connections, can they be got at without removing the Headlights?

    £30 good God!! its only £30 for the HID Kit with the Bulbs included, maybe this HID conversion is the best way forward how long do the HID Bulbs last and how much are the replacements? The Auto Electrician said a clear sign of over charging is usually the Brake lights blowing out, he was...

    I didn't actually think £6 per H1 Bulb was that cheap, I expected them to last longer than a week, I do a lot of night driving so the lights get a lot of use, just seems odd that the original Bulbs failed pretty close to each other, maybe a coincidence? the Pound shop H1 Bulbs last just the same...

    I went for the 6000k ones I asked for white, I hope this cures the problems, fed up of changing the bulbs, its battery off every time for the Near side and washer bottle filler off for the offside, what a pain, what happened to simplicity?

    Thanks Crespo, I have bought and paid for the HID Kit on ebay I will get another couple of Pound Shop H1's to keep me going until the Kit arrives, when the fuse blew after you installed the Kit did you put an equal rated fuse back in? Dale

    Hmmm now that sounds familiar, what mileage did this start to happen at? mine had done around 80k before I started having the blown bulbs problem, the fact HID's cured your problem is enough for me to press the buy it now button. Thanks.
