Question about aftermarket headlight wiring kit
Okay, I have one. Before I got it, the right bulb, always kept blowing, but the left side was fine. Okay so I got the upgraded kit, and the right side is still blowing. Granted it takes a little longer to blow, but it's still blowing. Any info would be extremely nice.

Hmm... check you're wiring for your right headlight bulb. Follow it all the way back and see if its grounding out somewhere. If all else fails, try re-wiring it directly to the fuse box and into the headlight relay (disconnect or cut the original wire and just connect it using your own). Good luck

Are you blowing the bulb? or the socket? If it's the bulb, than it's problem with not bulb and not the wiring.

well if you keep blowing bulbs, then something is obviously wrong w/ ure socket. I still suggest trying that method. i mean... why not? you have nothing to lose and i bet you it'd solve your problem.
Try this... cut the positive wire of the right headlight and add an extention wire and run it to your left headlight and splice it into its positive wire.
BTW- can u be more specific about ure "upgraded kit"... that means it replaces your OEM socket right? So I'm guessing if it's still blowing, the wiring may be screwed up and somehow the wires are shorting out
