ShabF32 · 03-10-2011, 03:52 PM

I just ordered a new set of GP Thunder H8 Angel eye bulbs from e92lighting.com.

I ordered these because my drivers side bulb would NOT light up at all. So i just installed these and the SAME thing!.. The drivers side bulb will STILL not light up. So now i dont know what to do!.. Its NOT the bulb but something else. PLEASE someone help me. I have been driving around with one illuminated angel eye and have searched and searched but i cannot find out why the bulb wont light. Its properly connected just like the passenger side one. Could it be a wire?.. a fuse??.. I beg any one of you!... Whoever can help me with this you will have HUGELY caused me severe stress!!..

I had this issue once. i had to push in the bulb, not the housing, but the bulb it self. works fine now.

had other problem where i fried my frm module (module that controls the cars lights) entire left side of the car was not working. had it replaced and now everything works fine.

your best solution is trial and error. take right bulb and put on left side, etc and see what's different.

I checked the fuse.. played around with it and replaced it with another 40. Same thing.. Bulb still wont light.. and NOW i have the ABS light on and it wont turn off. I borrowed the ABS fuse because it was also a 40 and then put it back EXACTLY where it came from. Now the ABS light is on.. What could possibly be wrong with my Angel Eye bulb??.. im getting REALLYYY irritated

take it to the dealer?

Could be the ballast itself for the bulb. Take a volt meter and start testing the output power to see if your getting anything out. If your sure the bulb and fuse is good thats the only thing that comes to mind short of the dealer.
