Default 2000 civic coupe aftermarket (ebay) foglight help

So i just bought these foglights like a month or so ago
and all of a sudden my friend thought he seen the foglight pop or flash so he walked over by it and said that its not working

so i put the other foglight from the opposite side on the side that does not work, and the foglight worked

so i took the foglight off the bumper, and i wanted to no if i could just replace the foglight bulb? instead of having to buy foglights all over again..

because the bulb also looks like it is connected to a freaking wire?
idk im so confused

The bulb is connected to a freakin wire? What else would it be connected to? Did YOU install it? How do you NOT know how it's connected? Change the damn bulb.

Next time buy OEM. None of those Ebay kits are made the same. I have a Depo set and the bulb isn't connected to a freakin wire. Normally a bulb plugs into a socket. At least on MY planet it does.

I bet you bought them used.

This is why you DON'T BUY EBAY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!


Unless you can figure out a way to replace the bulbs, your going to buying new lights.

I will say that I have never had to deal with an H3 bulb but it is apparent looking that the photo that it is able to be disconnected. I've never seen anyone have this much difficulty unplugging a bulb.
