you have to tilt your steering wheel at a 90 degree angle while turning off and on your cd player, after 3 minutes, your bulb will work....if it doesnt work....try singing to the bulb

Actually, it all depends on wether or not it is imported or American built. To find out, you have to get you car warmed up to running temperature and then(while running-like you're checking tranny fluid) you have crawl under the car to the backside of the transmission. If you see a glowing Honda emblem on it...well, that just means you put one of those APC illuma-glo things on your tranny. Scratch that. You have to crawl under to your transmission. If, while hot, it says JAPAN on it, it is American built. If it say ICELAND, it is built in Iceland. Now you, too, can find out where your car was made. Later, QD.

yeah i got to vouch for him after i tride for hours to change my bulbs
I went to andys shop, BULB EXPERTS on WTF RD.
they are fast and have great prices!
I know him so he charged me $400 and he waved the bulb disposle fee, so i saved $10 like for car batteries!

i had some piaa bulbs in my 99 civic ex for a while now and the driver side low beam jsut stopped working. I'm guessing the low beam burnt out? I check the low beam fuse and that was still good. The highs on both headlights still work. So is my low mean just burnt out? can anyone confirm this?

I have 00' Ex and have the same problem and it turn out to be the harnesses. So I replaced them with high performance harnesses that can handle the rigors of high output bulbs
