Xenon Lights

Post by sapper »

Anyone here have a problem with there Xenon bulbs burning out every 3 months? I'm using the Eurolite's Xenon Fusion by Toucan. There regular wattage (9004's 12V 65/45w) but always seem to burn out realy quick. I've gone through 4 of them so far in the last 5 months. (And its realy starting to piss me off!)<p>Any ideas?
I saw a street sign yesterday that said Caution! Children playing! so I slowed down. Then I thought Wait! I'm not afraid of children!

Make sure you DO NOT touch the bulbs. It is even a good idea to clean them off with a lil rubbing alcohol before installation. Also some of the cheap bulbs off ebay do burn out quickly. Unfortunately the "xenon" bulbs you get arent really Xenon unless they cost over 120 dollars.....each.

Yeah, stay away from cheap Korean made bulbs. Use premium Philips. Osram or GE made bulbs. If they are E-code, even better. But I guess then you would loose the cool blue, but the price might come down though.
