i'm going to try that this weekend, that thought had occurred to me as well.

also, my friend's brother is an electrician, and he said he'd check it out too. hopefully, it's nothing about the hardware, and it's something that's jiggled itself loose, or possibly the bulb. i really hope it's not the actual headlight, because then i have to go through the hassle of return it, and get another one (if they'll take it).

it's too soon for it to malfunction though, even if it's used. HID didn't appear on ITR's until '98, so, it should still be in good working order for a while.
