Hi all,

A headlight was out on my '12 TSX wagon, so I naturally replaced the bulb. Unfortunately, I reconnected everything only to find out that the headlight was still out.

What are some good suggestions for troubleshooting what might be the problem?

For extra info, my car has the HID lights, and the everything else in the light assembly (ie. the turn signals, high beams, and running lights) is working properly. Also, when I was removing the bulb, the wire that supplies power to the bulb looked a bit rough and twisted.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

****, I know this is an old thread but I'll leave this for anyone having issues in the future. The HID bulbs have a ballast that powers the bulb, most likely, it's the ballast that has failed, especially if you have not had any other electrical issues or symptoms.
