Re: 1990 accord headlights burning out
True, I'm still not going to rule out grounding. The thing is, it's only
the low beam bulbs (9006) that burn out when I put them in. The accord
also has a set of high beam bulbs (9005) and they are still working
fine. If it were the voltage regulator, wouldn't these bulbs and other
eletrical components be having problems too? It seems isolated to the
low beam bulbs.

True, I'm still not going to rule out grounding. The thing is, it's only
the low beam bulbs (9006) that burn out when I put them in. The accord
also has a set of high beam bulbs (9005) and they are still working
fine. If it were the voltage regulator, wouldn't these bulbs and other
eletrical components be having problems too? It seems isolated to the
low beam bulbs.
