Default What is happening ?

Tonight, one of the bulb of my headlight went out...I opened the hood and check it out and I see that my bulb is in regular shape...I hit it back to its place and it lights up again ! I close the hood and continue m way. I stopped at a girl house and than came back to my car to drive her at a bar and when I turn the ignition key, The bulb doesn't light up again ! I did the same and lighted up again...What could be wrong ? Hope it has nothing to do with the wires...

I had this problem with my HIDz when I first put them in. My problem was with the power distribution on te positive side (since I had a relay special wired to my battery POS/NEG connectors.) In your case, I would check the headlight wireing and sockets. Chances are your power isn't getting through all the way or water could have caused a shortage. Another member mentioned checking the fuses. I would do that first before you go inspecting the sockets. Keep us posted bro and Good luck.

My garagist said it was the male socket that was the problem...I will have to check the fuses but where ? In the engine bay or inside the driver's cockpit ?
