i posted this in the other place, but y not here too

This may just be me, but i got atermarker bulbs
(99 SE-L) had um in for a while. now 1 of them
keeps going out....its not the bulb its the connecter
*** when its out my highbeam light comes on inside
and i get out and push mah connector into the bulb more
(or wiggle it a little) and it goes on....untill i drive a lil
and it goes back out....i think maybe i fried my wire.... *** it looks
kinda ugly, it sux....anyone else have this problem?
know how to fix it?

Anyone know if....Nissan service told me 1 time that
having aftermarketbulbs will burn the connectors, so
they know i had the bulbs...im thinkin if i go in and say
to them replace it *** its warrenty they will be like....
"we told u not to it, go blah urself"
u's think im right?

thanx

Yeah some aftermarket bulbs will fry it. The place you bought them from should have told you that in the 1st place. It saved me alot of trouble.

Yeah... anything greater than 55 watts will fry the connector... it happened to me twice... luckily Nissan fixed it for me both times. Now I run just stock lights on my projectors... thinking of getting true HID's here shortly!
