Headlight Problem

I had a good local car shop put in my projector headlights. The other day I was driving and the right headlight just stopped working, I thought that it was the bulb, i went to change it and it wasn't even messed up. What else could it be!?

That's why DIY are, sometimes, best. Other people usually tend to throw things around and not really care what they're doing. That's just from my own experience of course but headlights are really easy to do. Headlights were the first mod I did on my car...I did them myself not knowing anything about them and i've had no problems.

My guess would be bad wiring or loose connector[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

ive had my TYC projectors on for 4 months now..no burnt bulbs, no condensation, and yes, they are brighter than stock if you aim the lenses right.

check the wiring, if the harness is plugged in right, its a fuse.

my projectors kept burning out my bulbs, and i was pretty sure it was the daytime running lights that were on the car that made them go all out of wack... so i went to honda and had them take em off... and now the projectors and bulbs are fine! yaay!

Wiring is prolly the problem. That is what happened to mine when I tried to put my M3 mirrors on. I got the wires all messed up and they burnt out.
