Ive gotten a pair of Eagle Eye Halo headlights for my Versa and and them installed about 3 months ago. Today i was driving and noticed my right headlight is out. Just the headlight not the halos themselves or the high beams. About 2 weeks ago i did turn on my lights and the right one again did not turn on right away. It took about 3-5 seconds before it turned on. My friend had a different Brand on a different car and he had to hit it to turn on(poor installation?)

So i was wondering. Do i need to get a new bulb and if so How much would they be? Does it have to do with the temp. Every night the temp gets down to about 10 deg. And stays below 30 the entire day. (Beloit Wisconsin). Is the life on these headlights this short? Is there any reason why they wouldn't be turning on.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just kind of disappointed that there out already.

you may be over exerting the fuse for the headlights. sounds like you need a relay.

Winner thinks your new headlights are drawing too many amperes (they are a higher wattage) than your OEM bulbs. If that is the case, it may blow the fuse.

So a fuse could be blown on that one headlight. I also have fog lights I run to. Could that have anything to do with it? So if the fuse is blown am I going to need to get a relay and a new fuse, and since both of you think so how much are they... not much I could imagine

Each headlight runs on its own fuse, so yes your headlights could be just a simple fuse blown.

Do your foglights use the same circuit as your headlights, or are they drawing power from something else?

If you are running two 55 watt foglamps, you need a 10-amp relay and fuse. I don't know what you have for foglamps, OEM or something else, so you'll have to calculate what you need amperage wise to run the system.

OK so i took my foglights out and i tried new fuse and niether fuses are blown for the low beams. So it has to be the bulb right? If so i think i have to order them but idk what bulb i need dose anyone know? Ive tried to even get it out and its retarted so far!
