Default Headlights out of service!!??

About a month ago in Chicago, I bought a set of bulbs from topspeed chicago that they told me would be ok to put in my xB. Installed them and they rocked out for a month, last night as I was driving home I put on the brights and my headlights completely shut out. No light at all, so I had to drive home last night with the flashers on ! I hope I didnt mess up anything too bad, but I am going to try n go there today to see if they will do anything, considering they were the ones that recommended them! And If my headlights are garbage, do you think I should try n buy a pair of projectors? Or do I need new wiring harness'? This is bullsh*t!!!!!

What light bulbs did they suggest? I had mine for almost a year then they blew and I upgraded my headlights themselves to dual halo projectors so I gotta buy bulbs for them.

Could be a bad install... Did you touch the bulbs?

Did the bulbs burn out, or did the headlight wiring itself? Maybe the wattage was too high.

ahh yes indeed very critial that you DO NOT touch the bulb if you do, don't fret, take rubbing alcohol and rub the entire surface and let it dry before trying again. If you touch that bulb it will blow real quick.

they were made by nokya, and I'll get the model number n ____ later, but I just got my car back from the dealer, and they said I blew both headlight fuses. So they must of been too high of a wattage, but they shouldnt recommend them if that is the case.
