Headlights Burning Out- Any Recent Inovations?
New memeber here, and happy P5 owner (it's a 2002, dead stock, and I bought it new). I have had lots of trouble with headlights burning out. I did a search, but found only a thread that was three years old, and offered no fix for this anoying problem. Is there a fix?
Thanks, -Scott |
Welcome to the forum.
It's been a while since I heard anyone complain about this. I dunno if I can help you but what kind of bulbs are you using as replacements? |
I have the perfect solution for you.
Find a dealer in your area that sells PlasmaGlow bulbs (performance shops). They are guaranteed for 10 years, and the dealer will replace them free if they burn out (keep the receipt). I had the same trouble, put these PlasmaGlow bulbs in and they've been fine for a while now. About $45 a pair. |

I've had a variety of brands in there, always with the same results. I've never used anything special. J- Thanks for the tip. $45 for a pair for 10 years is a bargain. Mine last about 4 months. Are the PasmaGlow in stock wattages and color? Thanks for the quick responses! -Scott |

I am currently using Nokya Yellows, Running a year and half with heavy Audio System use.
prior to that i ran PIAA Plasma Purples and they blew out 6 times within 2 years, kept having them replaced. But its funny cause I still have my 2001 STOCK Protege bulbs and i keep switch back to them to date they are still alive. If yo ucan find stock bulbs i would go to them if you cant stand blow outs |

My stock bulbs lasted 3+ years. The Sylvania Silverstars[tm] won;t last more than six months to the DAY! I have started to buy a new one every six months to anticipate the failure! :P
I would rather do it once and have a warranty! |
I ordered the Plasmaglows yesterday. Different colors are different prices. I opted for platinum, which was $69.99. Free shipping, though, dirrect from Plasmaglow. I will keep you updated about burnouts. A warranty is great, but if you still have to replace them every 4 months it is still a PIA!

-Scott I'd like to see what my car would look like with green or purple lights though. Too bad I can't justify spending over $50 on something I cant use on the road... |
