I just replaced my oem tail light with tyc and right after i installed them, i test the brake lights (without putting all the bumper back) and it works... after everything is put back, the rear brake lights don't work!!!!
well, just the right one at the beginning but then several hours later, i went to check again and want to make sure the signal light is yellow, then i found out the left one is also burnt out!
another several hours, i turned on my car and the headlight, the right headlight is burnt out now! it's piaa super xtreme light bulb... anyone know what's going on... how come all the light bulbs are all burnt out?
is it because of the battery? how much is the honda battery compare to some "good" battery in autzone/pepboys??

your battery shouldn't be burning out the bulbs. You should probably take it apart again and check your connections. ALso, make sure you weren't supposed to upgrade the wire harness before changing the bulbs.

Oh, if you are using the original bulbs then I'd check your wiring.

Maybe the bulbs aren't burnt out and you just have a short in the line.

if there's a short somewhere, i would think all the light bulbs would not be on???
it's not like one at a time by like 2-hour interval...

so none of you think it's the battery problem? i think i'm going to take my car to honda service dept and let me check it out... i don't want to buy a HID and then burn it out...

did any of the bulbs have any contact with dirt or fingerprints (touching it) ?

i don't think so.. i've been very careful.. i tested it right after i installed them... but after putting all the bumper and the clips... they don't work...
since i was working at my friend's place and when i drove back home, the right headlight is also burnt out... what the hell is going on

slightly off subject, but why did you pull your rear bumper off to change the tail lights?

mine is a sedan.. there're like 4/5 screws behind the bumper..

why are you worried about HID when you're talking about changing the tail lights?

ah, ok, I have 2d, didnt know that, sorry... but yea, I dont know if your wiring runs by the bumper mounts or not, but maby you pinched a wire and the slow burn out is caused by a small short, and the headlight may just be a fluke thing w/ bad timing... dont know, just taking a shot in the dark...

that's the weird thing.. after i changed the tail light, the headlight bulb burnt out too
i don't want that to happen to a HID if i do get one
