I have a 98 Accord Coupe and are having problems with my passenger side headlight bulb. In the last 3 months, my bulb has burnt out 2 times. I forgot the brand, but they are like $30 from Best Buy. I also was in a car accident on that side in Oct, but the accident didnt effect my headlight bulb. Any suggestions?

 

Maybe a wire is chaffing against some metal and when it makes contact - poof! - goes your headlight bulb. I would double check all wiring harnesses around that area and look for signs of rubbing.

Good luck

 

You know you're susposed to touch the actual bulb with your bare hands right?

Yeah, that's always a good idea.

Make sure you <U>don't</U> touch the actual glass part of the headlight while you're installing it.

Make sure you're not buying cheap *** bulbs either. Poorly constructed bulbs will burn out hella fast.
