Headlight problem

Heres the deal, you may have seen my post on the classified section about selling projectors, well I had a problem where the drivers side headlight went out, not the day times, not the high beams, but just the driving headlight. So I took them out an dput back my stock headlights and the same problem again!!! Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Maybe a loose wire?

Like what PULOVR said ... it could be the wire. Why don't you try and install the projector headlights on to someone else's car and see if it works. If it does than you know it's probably the fuse or the wire.

wires

i think i know the problem you are having. i have the exact same projectors and I had them installed about three months ago and I have no problems. You can't use your stock wires to power the lights. When you buy the headlights, they should have come with another set of wires, wires that amplify the projection. Your problem is most likely in the wires. When I got mine installed the guy who did it said that he had to disconnect my day time running lights, so when I turn on my car, no headlights come on; if I want the headlights to come on I have to turn them on. This is who installed mine, he is a honda certified technician who runs his own shop called Si Performance and Fabrication, ask for Lou, he'll help you out forsure. 20 Strathearn in Brampton (905) 799-2234. They are off of steeles one set of lights east of dixie.

Hmmm

Yo, I'm not sure about that man, I have that other wiring harness form denji but all it does it allow you high beams and driving lights to come on at the same time, I've actually heard its better to run your projectors with the stock harnes. I've heard some people burning bulbs every month using the aftermarket harness. I actually tested my outlets and my stock plug has no power going to it, so its either a relay thats corroded or something.

That's Louie, not Lou. Louie works at Dalt's Honda.

May be a wire is shorting out.
Check the wire that's leading up to that bulb.
