headlights

[gtownjoe]

my daughters car has the h3 bulbs for headlight an they blow out all the time. I have to replace at leat once a month. is there a different kind of bulb i can get that will hold up longer? Not sure if the headlights are stock or aftermarket..

It would help if u can post a pic. Stock, aftermarket, and jdm lights all take different types iirc.

at work right now. but looked at some online at ebay an pretty sure they are the projectors

Sounds like an issue other than bulbs. I would go through the wiring. Sounds like something is crossed or wired in wrong.

Oh ok, pretty sure those are the right bulbs. But like Talon said, that most likely would be an issue in the wiring somewhere.

think i figured it out. there is no conversion box for the hid bulbs..

If that were the case then they wouldn't work at all

if the bulbs are imitation HID bulbs then that would explain it. For some reason (probably because most companies are capitalists) those imitation HID bulbs like to go out every 30-45 days. if the packaging states "HID" somewhere on the label but the bulb plugs in directly to the car's harness (like the stock bulbs do) then they most definitely aren't HID's, and like 98gsrDC2 said; real HID bulbs need a ballast to work.
