Default Re: fuse? switch?

I just took out both bulbs and they are indeed craped out. It's weird that they choose to go dead at the same time when I turn on the head lemps last night. Hope it's not some strange elec prob. Those are the original oe bulbs came with the car(MY99) btw.

Default i may be overly ****, but i assume nothing with bulbs...

when installing any bulb, brand new or not, I ALWAYS use rubbing alcohol 70% to clean off any residual crappage. your boy, Stalin could have touched all over those bulbs at the philips factory and we'd never know
