Default is it the bulb or my wiring?

I just put in my SiR headlights.. and wired up my city lights... so I transfer the bulbs from my old headlights to the SiR headlights.. and one side seems to be fine and the other side is not so good..

is one bulb going bad or did i mess up in wiring somewhere?

the bulbs are at least 6 to 7 years old... Raybrigs... i lost the box for them.. i'd pick up the same pair if i knew which ones they were....

you can see how one side looks under powerd

problem solved





bad side


good side

Did you wire your city lights to the parking/signal light?

Try switching the "good" bulb to the other side. If it works fine, then you know it's the bulb. If not, it's the wiring.

it sounds like you've got a bad headlight plug and or a bad ground, I'd check your plug to see what condition it is as well as the wiring coming out of it....
