Any problem with the Nokya bulbs?

I have Nokya H4 bulbs for my car and recently one of the bulbs blew out. I thought it was dead at first but when i was playing around with my lights...i high beamed it and the bulb that i thought was dead was on but...the regular working Nokya bulb didn't work. So basically...one works, one doesn't and vice versa when i high beam it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Krepoort is an unknown quantity at this point
Headlights have 2 filaments. 1 for the regular/low beam, 1 for the high beam. The filament for your low beam is probably broke. Just take it out and take a look at it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Krepoort is right.

Just replace your bulbs w/ PIAA or MTEC's.

Cheap bulbs = last 2-3 months (average) = $20

PIAA = lasts 2-3 YEARS = $60

You do the math.

I've seen piaa's blow out frequently in less than 6 months. My nokyas lasted me about a year and still work, except that their color is fading so I switched bulbs.
