headlight wiring problem?/question - Honda Pilot

Alkymixr · 12-28-2012, 12:49 PM

recently my passenger headlight went out .. when i went to see what brand headlight i had ( ive been happy with them ) the light came back on as soon as i touched the wire .. it stayed on for a few days and then out again .. after the second insepction i noticed the wires that go to the H11 bulb to the main harness have been twisted ( im guessing previos owner) if i twist it mor the light came back on .. and worked for weeks now light is out and wire manipulation is not working this time (havent pulled bulb yet )..SO......has anyone else ran into the wire problem and is that somthing easily replaced ... if i get that far into the wires should i just do HID??

Even if the bulb isnt bad id like to get the wires fixed .. not a big fan of twising them

Wiring needs replacement/repair.

Just trace the wires and soldier in a new guy. As for HIDs that's up to you.

after a real look over there is a 8in section of wire between the bulb and main harness thats replaceable from stealership for 25 bucks!

Before making the 'investment' , first try the wire from the left headlight, if it's the same and fits.
