TYC Projectors, and wiring harness. NO PW!!
I saw the old treads about this but there is really no clear answer as to why the bulbs keep burning out in the projectors.
It's not the fuzes. and I am NOT touching the glass.
So here are my questions.(no PW pleaze)
1) Why in the hell are the bulbs blowing!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
2) Has my wiring harness gone bad? (the OEM one not the projector harness)
3) How hard is it to put a new one on?
4) Why did the harness go bad?
Thanks guys, need some answers quick. Hope i don't to make a trip down to AutoDynamic and get a new harness, looks like it though.

Questions 3 and 4 assume that question 1 is right. I don't think it's the harness. Do you use the same bulbs as the stock headlamps? I don't have projectors but if it's a diff. bulb then maybe that's the problem. I know the PIAA hyperwhites blow like every 3 weeks on our cars. Just a thought (not PWing)

i have TYC projectors with the bulbs they came with, and i've had no problems at all with them blowing out (i've had the lights for about 5 months or so). i think the problem is using HyperWhite [or XtremeWhite, etc] bulbs because in the small area of the projector they overheat too easily. it seems to make sense.
