AfterMarket Blubs H11's

by **Solaraguy026** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 12:14 pm

I have Bought H11's Bulbs from a Local Flee Market, And They Look Really Nice, But Always the Drivers Side Bulb Ends Up Failing, I dont know why i put a larger AMP Fuse for just the Right Side and its lasted alot longer than previous times, but the fuse isnt blown, just the blub is but its wierd that all of the others are still Working Fine, I have Replaced the Fog lamps as Well and they have last 2 since the first pair of HID looking Bulbs ive bought. I dont understand why always the Drivers Side Headlight Goes Out First I Dont Get it, Any Imput? I replaced it with the stock bulbs and it turns on right away so i kno somthing is up with the Bulb, but why not the others?

well... i don't really konw why always driver side..
but, i do know that kinda light bulb burn out easily...
that's why i don't suggest people to replace the light bulb..
unless u go for HID, or u get too much money and no get where to spend.. @.@

Its just local stores dont stock this stuff and i hate buying off line althought i might have 2

did you happen to touch the drivers side bulb durring installation? that would be one reason it may have blown.

also, would you guys recommend buying a new harness if you buy headlight bulbs with a higher wattage than stock? i.e. 100w-200w

Using cheap "brand x" aftermarket bulbs without testing how much current (Amps) they draw at their operating voltage is a ticket to a melted bulb socket (at the least). Read "ka's" experience with this at http://www.solaraguy.org/viewtopic.php?t=21836

Using higher Amp fuses for the headllights is a perfect way to fry most of your wiring harness. Please don't let this happen to you.

I replaced my bulds after a month of getting the car..
im using cheap (around 20 buks) bulbs and havent burn in 15 months...
i like the color of my bulbs but i might get PIAA extreme whites because the currents ones are not very brite and im forced to drive with fog lites on most of the time

If you're blowing out the driver's side headlight, the last thing you'd want to do is give it more juice by increasing the fuse rating.
