I have one of though halo 1st gen light you can see in the pic below, i have had them installed for about a year now. the problem is that one of the headlight bulb goes out sometimes and goes on sometimes. Does this mean the bulb need replacing or is the wiring is messed up?

 

Are you running with hids or just the regular halogen bulbs?

 

halogen bulbs.

 

Leaking halogen fluid jk jk lol had to say sorry how long has it been acting up like that

 

About 1 week now, and where can i get some halogen fluid I may be low on it.

 

are you being serious?

 

 

You find your halogen fluid at any ricer shop lol but prob do need a new bulb or something might have come loose one bulb always goes out and the other last bit long lol

 

dont forget to get winter air in those tires

 

Dicks

Check your blinker fluid well your at it

 

ya im full on blinker fluid but i may need to go out and gets some winter air for my tires, I got spring air in them right now.

So i guess i should get a new bulb than? what size are they?

 

h1 i think

 

srsly though. if its blinking on and off check the connection. im pretty sure a bulb eithier works or doesnt if blown.

 

it could very well being your ballast going as well....sorry to tell you the worst case

 

Ya it works for a few mins then it turns off its werid, I guess its a wiring problem. I may have to take the headlight out to get behind it.

How do i find out? where can i get a replacement?

 

try that man. more than likely the problem

if you dont have H.I.D.'s you dont have a ballast

 

**** i thought he said HIDs my bad

 

YOu do not have ballasts. your running halogen bulbs. And Dead is correct it either works or it doesnt. Sounds like a wiring issue, make sure all your connections with your lights are tight.

 

try the blue and white wires that have the male female connectors on them

 

Ok thanks everyone! I'm going to try my best this weekend to fix the problem. Im not the one who installed the headlights to begin with so i may need some help when I try to find out whats wrong.

 

OK ill just got around to trying to fix the light ( been out of the country) and i got the headlight out and now im having trouble getting the light bulb out. Do i just pull it out? Ive pulling really hard and it doesn't move at all. Any special way of pulling out the light? I can take pic of it if anyone wants to know what im talking about.

Thanks

 

I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE...

blew 2 bulbs and had one go off and on. i took out the headlight and checked the wiring. The problem was where there wires were spliced in to make the Halos and LEDS work. i used crappy parts when i first got it and water would cause a short. RE-WIRE / RE-SPLICE the connectors. go to your local auto parts store and get the water proof connectors that you have to take a torch to for the shrink wrap. should solve your problems

 

Mine use to go off and on and now its off altogerher. A short would cause just the projector bulb to go out? Everything else works great, I think my bulb is out...look at this pic of a H1 bulb mine looks like there nothing connecting these 2 parts

 

Ya i got the bulb out, lol i was trying to get the bulb itself out and find out the whole unit thing comes out. Now im pretty sure i need a new bulb cause the coil is not fulling connected like the pic showed

 

if there is nothing connecting the bulb, then yes its blown. that could have been caused by a short. i once had a fuse blow on me. didnt know it at first. tried to replace the bulb and it still didnt work. thats when i found it was a fuse issue. pull out both light and make dam sure that the splices aren't getting wet or have bad connections. ELECTRICAL TAPE is not good enough. especially if you removed the stock airbox. water will get in there on the passenger side.

Get new bulbs, water-proof connectors. re-do the splicing right, take your time, and there should be no more problems
