Rep Power: 349 Bulb cover burned
I recently had some Nokya lights in my headlights, well after time i noticed that one of my covers over the lights has turned black and looks like its burned from the wattage, i switched to HKS bulbs as most of you know, but i want to get rid of the ugly look that my bulb cover has, any suggestions?

Rep Power: 0 I don't know too much about lights or anything, but you may have to buy a whole new headlamp housing. If anyone else has a better answer, please post; I'd like to know as well because the same thing happened to me . . . . [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 he means he put a high watt bulb in there and they got too hot and burned the inside of his housing.... same thing happened to my bro's 7th gen ., but he also melted the wiring , but for right now he replaced his with different bulbs and you cant even tell there blue , unless its pointed at a wall or something , noway to fix it i dont think, maybe take some of that intake wrap tape that is reflective and put it on the inside of the housing... bootleg i know but hey maybe it will work

Rep Power: 349 its the chrome insert that goes over the bulb itself. its not the housing. the housing is fine, its the silver/chrome plastic cover over the bulb, sorry for the confusion.

Rep Power: 0 Whether it's the passenger side or drivers side shouldn't matter, the chrome "cover" piece you say you need should be the same on both sides.
