I hope this is the correct section to post.

I seem to have continued bad luck with headlamps on my Civic

A couple of months ago one of my hi-beams went out but I just kept forgetting that I needed to buy a new set. Finally the 2nd one went out and I ordered a new set on eBay. If you can't trust eBay, who can you just. Right??

So my son installed the new bulbs, verified that the old ones were blown and turned on the lights. Nothing!

We looked in the owners manual for a fuse that controlled the hi-beam, but couldn't find anything.

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong? I find it hard to believe that a set of bulbs straight out of the box could be bad?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

With headlight switch on you should have voltage at RED/YEL on drivers side and RED on passenger. Your ground path and switching of the high beam is on the RED/BLU leads (both sides) via headlight switch high beam circuit.

I would ohm out the new bulbs just to be sure they are o.k.
