Default going through 3rd H1 in a week.

i am sooo pissssed
I bought some euro dezigns h1 bulbs for my projectors on a 95 accord and they keep dying. Particularly on my left headlight. I dont know if it is the bulb or I have a leak in my projectors. I changed bulb last night too. I used some electrical tape to seal the ends and put some inside the cap over the rubber seal as well. Just when I though it was good to go, it dies on my today.

Anyone have any problems with eurodezigns bulbs? Is it the bulb or is my projectors leaking somewhere. The other day when it rained real bad, i saw it fogg up. So thats why I sealed it with electrical tape. It rained a bit today but the i did not see any fog.

Is it the grounding? help!!

just make sure absolutely nothing touches the bulb itself when installing them. Oil from you fingers can cause them to explode....

just don't touch the glass part of the bulb at all. it's not that hard. If you feel that you NEED to for some reason, most sets of new bulbs come w/ alcohol swabs. just clean them w/ those.
