My buddy just got a 5th gen prelude and his right headlight doesn't light up sometimes. I was driving with him and it magically relit.

The bulb that isn't lighting is the main one near the top of the headlight, not the one in the corner of the headlight.

Is it a loose wire or is it the bulb?

 

could be either one. try a different bulb. if its not that, its the wiring/connector

 

check the connections to the bulb and be sure they're secured. It also sounds like you may just need to replace the bulb. Try swapping the high beam bulb with the low beam bulb and see if that helps

 

it did the same to me i changed the bulb but it ended up beeing a shitty conector

 

The same thing happened to me about two months ago and all I had to do was push the connector back into the bulb and it hasn't done it since. Make sure that the bulb is connected securley to the connector. I think when it happened to me the bulb just got wiggled out of the connector. It may not work but hey it's worth a try.

 

I dont know anything about preludes. Where is the connector for the headlights and what does it look like?

 

is right behind the headlight coming off the bulb pull the rubber cover off then pull the conector

Gotcha, and if's not the connector then it's the bulb?

 

or the wiring but most likely one of those 2 usually
