I have been bothered with headlamp failures on more than one occasion and its
really starting to piss me off. After having the headlights fail intermittently a couple of years ago, I
went to one of our sponsors to have some HID installed thinking some clean wiring would do the trick.
After watching the lights flicker and fail over a period of several months (and to his credit, the sponsor
tried to help and did some changes) I finally gave up and took the car to my regular mechanic.
I really like and trust him, but so do a lot of other people..more on that in a moment.
He ripped out the HIDs, installed original lights and voila, all was well again. One year later, first the
passenger light, then both lights have failed and my regular mechanic is willing to help, but he's backlogged.
I work shifts so I must have lights and I can't run the high beams only.
Anybody have a recommendation for a garage to visit in the downtown/east side/Riverdale area?
I would be willing to go further afield, but it maybe one of those visits where I may have
to leave the car for the day, so proximity to public transport or home would be preferable.
Bulbs are fine and fuses are intact so it could be a wiring investigation.
I really want this problems fixed once and for all.
2004 hatch,no significant mods except the HIDs, which are gone.
Thanks, Dave.
