Default another stupid headlight bulb issue

the passenger side headlight only works when it wants to.. if i move it around or smack the headlight housing, it will turn on... i went to walmart to buy a new bulb, it said like 9007, and it doesnt fit.. what size are the bulbs? and does this have something to do with my taillight problem too?? thanks

You want H1 bulbs. Walmart probably won't carry them - my local Autozone & Advance don't either.

But if it's working intermittently, the bulb is probably fine - check the wiring behind the headlight housing.

Do you have a CAI or short ram?--some people around have issues of headlight failure because of this.

Yeah, I mean it never happened to me ever. But I have seen posts in other boards of people having problems w/ that, its somenthing related w/ the vibration the short ram makes, thats why it mainly happens in the passenger side headlight.

Just go to AutoZone and get a bulb. It'll probably be marked as a fog light bulb or something. The AutoZone near me carries them. Well actually, if you need bulbs, I have alot of stock ones I can send you. Just let me know

see thats the problem...I cannot proof it for now. But trust me I wouldnt be here BSing people, Iam just trying to find a solution...which by the way the best one is just to get a new bulb. And yeah the CAI does not have any contact w/ headlights neither the short ram, and like i said before it never happened to me I just saw it somewhere. I'll try my best to bring up here the link to that post.
