Why does my Head Light not light up?
If the bulb does not light up, the problem could be a corroded socket or a wiring fault, which is a problem best addressed by your mechanic. Background info: High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlight bulbs are arc lamps, like a neon sign. Instead of heating a filament to produce light, electricity arcs between two electrodes inside the bulb.
Why does my light switch buzz when I Turn on the light?
But more likely, these sounds are warning signs of a worn or defective switch. Time to replace it. However, if it’s a dimmer switch that buzzes, investigate the light bulb first. The dimming effect can make some light bulbs buzz as the filament structure vibrates. Try a different type or brand of bulb, not just a new bulb of the same type.
Why do my headlights come on after I Turn Off the ignition?
The headlights (and parking/tail lights) intermittently come on (and off), even after the headlights are switched off. Typically, after parking, I’ll turn off the headlights and remove the ignition key. Sometimes the headlights will turn off as expected, but sometimes they stay on.
What should I do if my headlight keeps going out?
If you need new plug connector at the headlight, a new connector should be spliced in for you. Dielectric grease is sometimes recommended for the plug area to keep moisture out.

Why does my headlight go off when I Turn on the car?
If the kit works, it is a power issue. To resolve this, you will need a wiring harness. If your car has Daytime Running Lights (DRL) flickering is usually caused by the lower voltage needed to run the DRL at half power. The car’s factory harness does not provide enough power to the ballasts.
What should I do if my headlight is not working?
Unplug the light, pull the switch, and see if the fuse blows. If not, the problem is not in the wiring. Make sure you have purchased the correct wattage of bulb. Ensure that you do not have a faulty or damaged bulb. Check and see if your high beam bulb is the issue. If so, replace it. Check all wired connections and look for any exposed wiring.
What causes a headlight bulb to burn out quickly?
Don’t handle the bulb with your bare fingers. Oils can cause bulbs to burn out quickly. Handle all headlight bulbs with surgical gloves and replace any existing bulbs that may have been handled incorrectly. The problem could be in your installation process.
What can cause a low beam headlight to be dim?
If it is, use a voltmeter to see how much power, if any, is reaching the headlights. If there is no power reaching them, there is a break in the wiring somewhere between the fuse panel and the headlights themselves. Thanks! What can cause the light to be dim except when on the high beam setting?
