Ok so you guys saw me putting in my new headlight bulbs on thursday, right. Well guess what f**king happened. I already have one bulb that went out. I am so pissed. Now you have to understand the situation. For the past 3 years I've gone through like 5 to 6 sets of bulbs. But what goes out is the lowbeam of the bulb. It just stops working. My highs work even on the bulb that goes out. I keep saying its a wire issue, but HONDA seems to tell me otherwise(that things are fine). I agree with people who have told me that HONDA is smokin crack. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate stock bulbs and refuse to drive with them unless emergency. I don't even think stock bulbs would matter.
What the hell do I do!

first make sure rubber paddings are tight so no water can get in to the headlight &
Try doing grounding kit for your ride, I used to have this problem and after I installed a grounding kit and never burns out now

And follow the steps, then click on "print version" Bring that letter to your dealer and tell them you want it fixed ASAP. In some cases its the wire connectors overheating but they told me mine were fine. Well my issue with the headlights was not the bubl blowing out while on. It would flash out during turn on. I would turn the switch to turn on my headlights and the bulb would flash out. Its happened so many times it makes me sick. I had silverstars in there and it did the same thing, ugh ugh ugh. Ill be going to the dealership as soon as I get my stock headlights back in there cause this s*** needs to get fixed. Im not changin headlights every two months.
