Hmm headlight problems again
Well I was driving my car to work this morning, it was raining so I turned on my headlights. When I got into traffic I noticed that the reflection in the truck in front of me seemed to be short a light. I flipped the brights for a second and found my missing light. I went back to the low beams and it went out again.
When I got to work I tapped the housing and it wouldn't do anything. I'm hoping it is just a bulb instead of the wiring harness. I happened to have a new connector when the passenger side acted up several months ago, I used up my spare fixing it.
Here's to hoping its just a bulb.

For anybody who's the least little bit interested, it was actually the bulb this time. Also the APC bulb that I found at Autozone is the same intensity / brightness as my NARVA fancy German bulbs that I had before. I did buy 2 just in case it wasn't, now I have spare.
My other choice was Sylvania Silverstars, although I can't speak for their automotive bulbs I know their household light bulbs suck terribly. I tend to shy away from them.
I really would have liked some of the PIAA bulbs that are supposed to be in the 5200k color range, no big suprise that you can't buy them locally.
