hey guys i bought a ap1 a couple weeks ago, its a 01. the last night i get into my car and turn on my headlights.. and i noticed that my driver side headlight is lighting up a pink color. mean while the passenger side is white/blue. i turn the lights off and turn them back on...when they first turn on its fine, but as the light warms up fully it turns pink. WTF?!? has anyone had this problem before?

 

uhhh maybe the previous owner changed the bulb, something probably around the 14000k temp range.

 

Yeah, sounds like you have miss matched bulbs. I've never hear of one turning pink on it's own.

 

for the past two months they have been blue. ive been looking on tons of fourms and one person said that the bulb is on its way out and i should buy two new bulbs. but i looked on majestic honda and they are 200 a piece :/

 

it could be that the bulb is going or the ballast can't ignite the bulb fully

 

sounds like your bulb change that first they are cheap but id recommend changing in pairs

 

i need help finding mines too after i crashed im missing both dont know where they ended up

 

what are you missing your ballast ?? if you take your bumper off they are right under the headlights

 

you crashed??

 

^ X2

 

thanks for the imput. on another note i took my car out last night again and the headlight that was burning pink....doesnt light up at all now :/..it flickered for a second and went out

 

Looks like it may have been a cheaper replacement that was on its way out. I always replaced both bulbs together just to eliminate any variations in color. They are a little pricey, but oem is the best option IMO

 

No need to pay OEM prices. 200$ a bulb is straight retarded! Just pick up some D2S bulbs of your choice. I always recommend a quality brand like Sylvania, PIAA, Philips, or Stanly.

 

thanks for the info guys...now my question is how hard is it to change the bulbs? im new to s2000's

 

check your bulb

I guarantee this will help you save a lot of money.

 

I do tend to forget about my discount.

 

how much of a discount

 

You can buy the same bulb the dealer sells from a Stanly (I believe) dealer for MUCH less. Don't wast your $$ on the Honda markup dude. Even with the a discount I am sure it will not be cheaper then buying direct.

 

ok..i was looking at aftermarket ones...does anyone know what the stock bulbs burn at? 6k? 8?

 

6k-8k is just the color basically the higher you go the less light you have i have 6ks and they look pretty good. why dont you take out your bulb thats working and swap it in to your other housijng to make sure its not your balast.

changing the bulbs in the s isn't the easiest of cars you have to pull down your liners in your front fenders i took my rims of as well it helped alot as its a cramped spot to work in.

you also need a special tool to open the housing ill see if i can find what it was called again.

 

thanks..hopefully i can get it up on my friends lift tonight and switch the bulbs around. and if you can find out the tool it would be great cause one of my friends said it was a torx t25. i just want to make sure

 

i found these http://www.hidconcept.com/Bulbs-philips4k-d2s.html or ?

 

anyone?

 

Philips makes good bulbs, but if it were me I would probably go up a bit in temperature. I do not know what the factory bulbs temp is.

 

every where i look 4300 is the stock temperature..and i want to look as stock as possible
