    Did the BHLM yesterday (pics in build thread) and now my driver side low beam does not work. High beam works. I don't see what could have been the issue as I never touch the bulbs bare handed.

    Any suggestions? Or just buy new bulbs? And if new bulbs are a must any brighter than stock ones out there?

    did you try installing passengers low bulb to confirm bulb blowing not connection issue?

    Finally got the time to check it out. Sure as shit broken filament. Big ol fingerprint on it too, which is weird I always wear gloves when dealing with lights and bulbs...oh well. ZXE were out of stock so I got some other sylvanias that were about 50 bucks instead.
