Chaztschida Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 2008 legacy 2.5i.. When i bought it the lowbeams were both out.. didnt think anything of it. Was a lil over a year ago. Replaced them same day and havent had any issue. Last night i turned the switch to turn the low beams on and as soon as they came on they went out.

GEE-OTTO Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Thats not really that bad or uncommon esp if you are using Sylvannia *sp or other lower quality bulb. They come in two packs for $$24.99 (basic grade) and go up at your local parts store. Better they both blow than one a time, that way it forces you to fix it rather than getting pulled over. Also when you install try not to touch them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 the bulbs are craftily engineered to last a predetermined length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Back in the day, I had some brand new ebay blue bulbs blow within half an hour of each other. They were $10 and I was trying them out. Couldn't see shit with them so no real loss, besides the $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaztschida Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ha totally forgot i posted this. And something was wrong. I musta missed it the first time but on the one side right under the connector the bulb goes in the wire was all jacked up. Guess it musta knocked around just right and blew the bulbs out. I chopped it up and put it back together. I use sylvania.. best they got in stores here as far as i know. I had the ZXE ones before but i got the other expensive ones they make cant remember name. These are wayyyyy better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regacy Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 FYI: There was a recall which extended the leadlamp warranty and your 2008 might actually be covered. I have enjoyed low beam lamp replacements twice in two months for free on my (2nd owner) 2010. Check your VIN against that recall - you may benefit - of course you have to re-install your blown bulb(s) then let them do the lamp replacements. Did I tell you it's free?
