blow it i guess





no idea how it happened. it was still working yesterday night, but tonight when i turned on my headlights/foglights the pessenger side went out.

wanted to take out the bulb but found out that i have to take off my whole front lip, stupid.... so did that, and found out that the whole bulb exploded... took me a while to shake off the glasses from inside the foglight too... the power connector is ok, so now the fogs are back to halogen....

oh well, not sure how i can find a replacement bulb now, ummm....

 

oh and also, i noticed that the red sand in the middle of the other bulb (the one that's still working) got a lot less than what it first had.... not sure what that means too @_@

 

That looks kind of cool. (sorry man). Might want to change both bulbs in case one starts to colorshift early, or just do a retrofit.

 

BTW, red salt is supposedly normal for ultinons.

 

yeah i know, but what i noticed was that it used to have quite a bit red salt in it, now there are only a few left. what does that mean?

 

retrofit what? drill out the whole thing and put in some projectors? damnit, no!

yeah, looking for bulbs, well, i don't really worry about colorshift coz' it's in the yellow fogs anyway (was my spare kit thats why it's 6000k and i didn't care)

damn, emailed and ask, one bulb is 170 and two for 300.... isn't it kinda stupid @_@ sigh

 

Dayam Henry.....abusing your bulbs already? LOL!!

I hope thats not a sign of things to come.

touch wood dude!!!!!

and it's not like i culd even touch the bulb when it was in the housing

 

LOL! I think (hope) you mean "knock on wood"?

 

oh sorry, typical chinese thing..... for some reason a lot of chinese say touch wood....

oh well, damnit, now you guys know i am chinese!

 

bump for update.

 

i got a deal on some partial hid kits, so i am trying to go that route and see if i can get something done easy

 

bump

 

funn about the bump coz' i just got some replacement yesterday. it's a kit with one broken ballast which is perfect coz' i only need the bulbs. so now i just havet to find time to splice some wires and tape and crossing my fingers

 

dude that sucks... sorry to hear that, man.. btw how old is the bulb anyway? i just bought 8mo old used kit from LB lex and i even havent got a chance to install it... i hope it wont happen to me anytime soon
