I got off school early today and went to a friend that was gonna help me tint my tails. So we got everything off (those clips are annoying as hell), tinted them, let them bake, they turned out great. Then me and him went to see our gals at the mall and went down to my gf's house for a movie and some pizza. After everything, we got in my car, i turn on my headlights and my gf screams "Your car is smoking". I just yelled WTF at the top of my lungs. Apparently my low beam bulb on the right side exploded as I turned my light on, so now there is dust and glass all over it. So tomorrow I am going to take the headlights off, shake them, vaccum them and get one of those dust attracting things to clean them out... grrrr.... (No it was not my HIDs) I don't have them in at the moment... It was crappy 11 dollar bulbs that I bought off Amazon..... adlkjfad At least my taillights are pretty.... :D

Good luck buying a new one... A set when a friend of mines CM got spraypainted and fucked up(they thought it was my car in his driveway) he got his headlights(OEM) for like $945 or something like that... for the same price i have found inspire headlights...

Hate to hear that this happened to you, I havenever heard of a headlight blowing like that.

I wonder what could cause a bulb to explode.  How long was it in?

Bummer.  It will be cheaper to pull your headlight apart to clean it out.  You can also find replacement OEM headlights on eBay.

There's no way a pair of headlights for a honda cost $945 unless it's an S2000.  That's highway genocide.  List price is just under $240 per unit...and if they charged $500 for installation to come up with that total then they deserve several bricks through the window...the person who got ripped off that bad should also sledge their toilet so they can't take a sh*t at work...there's no worse torture than having a broken toilet and having the runs...and that's what they deserve if they charged $1000 for a pair of headlights and installation when it should be just over half of that figure...
