The problem I am having is it keeps blowing out the head lamps every thing is stock I did replace one head lamp socket that I broke getting it out cuz it was cold and made of plastic you all know how that goes . Replaced the bulbs 4 times now cuz they keep blowing. If anyone has any ideas of what to do next it will be greatly appreciated Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 20, 2009, 3:28 AM Post #2 of 4 (1118 views) Re: Blowing head lights Sign In Hmmm. Check the voltage at the battery with engine at a raised idle. If over 14.8 bulbs will start to blow and other more serious harm! Voltage regulator should be inside alternator on this - can be done if you pay attention or whole alternator, T chickenhouse Enthusiast Dec 20, 2009, 6:35 PM Post #3 of 4 (1113 views) Re: Blowing head lights Sign In Do you know not to touch the new lights when you install them? Just a guess but the oils on your skin will kill new bulbs poste-haste. Use gloves when installing new bulbs- or something other - no skin contact.

Use dry, clean paper or better - avoid touching the glass of any halogen bulb, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
