i changed my oem headlight bulbs last summer with something called like Xenon Fusion which i got from a reputable car parts store around here in my area for like $25. tonight when i started my car... the DRL comes on but i noticed my passenger headlight was no light coming out, when i turned on my low beam there was no light still except for the parking lights but when i turned on my high beam it worked.

just wonderin if this mean that my bulb is burned out already & needs to be changed.


Thanks in advance.

 

Brighter halogen bulbs tend to have a shorter lifespan because they burn hotter. Cheaper brands don't help, either. Even the better brands, such as the Silverstar Ultras, usually only last about a year.

 

I had this same problem with my bulbs last week. I put up a thread and found that the bulbs were just burnt out and I just put in the regular halogens. Look into getting HIDs if you want that xenon white look which is what I'm doing once my projectors come in.

 

yea I had this problem a couple months ago when I first got my RA. One of the bulbs weren't working, so I replaced both with Sylvania Silverstar Ultra 9007! They are really bright white, but I dont expect them to last longer than a year bc of reasons already stated you shouldn't get the cheap bulbs, they wont last long at all!

 

what do u guys think of PIAA? i heard they'r a bit expensive but do u think this would last longer than a year?

 

they might, but like otter said above, the brighter the halogen bulb, the shorter the lifespan
