Both headlights have been out since this morning. Its not that they got blown out right now lol my bad if thats confusing. The original headlight that was out was the left one when you are INSIDE the car.
Ah I see...
Both headlights are not out...

Regardless, if you cannot visibly see if whether the fuse is blown or not, swap one of the 10A headlight fuses with the spare red 10A from the fuse cover. Check to see if any side of your headlights comes back on.

As this stage, we do not know if the fuses are blown, or if the LED bulbs are dying...

Both headlights are out and will not turn on. The both have not been on nor working since yesterday morning.

I have not swapped out the fuses yet but I can visibly tell that they are not blown. I will test out the newer fuses just to check but I don't think its going to work. I have been talking to the people in my 10th gen society chapter and they all seem to think its just faulty wiring since this issue has happened on some Si's.

I just want to know if i should go to LED's after the wiring is fixed :confused:

Yeah but he put the stock halogens back in to test so it’s not the led bulbs dying.

I highly doubt it’s wiring issues, have you checked both fuses 26 and 27? Make sure you only replace them with 10amp be sure to press the fuse all the way down get it started with the tool then use your finger. You’ll feel it stop moving and be flush with all other fuses. Plug in both your stock bulbs while doing this

Wow I am running into this exact issue today when installing retro fit source morimoto headlights. The low beam wasn’t turning on the driver side but the passenger was so I took the driver fuse out and swapped it with the passenger fuse since I wanted to see if it was because of that. Didn’t notice the extra in the cover but since I pulled both out and replugged and tested, both low beams don’t work anymore.

Did your kit come with relays? Check the fuses in those. Also try putting stock bulbs in

Is the relay the small black box thing? Not sure how to check it because it’s just 2 wires coming out of it on each side. The passenger was working fine but I pulled the passenger fuse and when putting the fuse back, it stopped working

I'm currently at Honda, let's see what they say.

it seems like some people don't have any issues and some people do. If they replay my wiring I might just go for another pair of LED's.

Let me know your results, my fuse keeps blowing out from my aftermarket led headlight, I’ll prob have to put my stock oem ones on before going to Honda if I can’t fix my issue either

UPDATE:

So about 14 months ago a large piece of metal fell on my car while I was driving on the free way. This caused me to replace my hood and grille. The first honda dealership told me how I had a serious "electrical problem" caused by my accident.....over a year later this causes an issue with my headlights? No way.

I went to another honda dealership and they said they wont even look at my car without charging me $140 an hour. They said that if they look at the car and the electrical damage is because of the accident it wont be covered by insurance. So I didn't even risk it.

I went to my mechanic that I've always trusted with all my previous vehicles and he replaced the wiring in my civic. He said quickly over the phone that there wasn't power going to the fuse box due to faulty wiring. I haven't picked up the car yet but I will and ask for a little more detail.

Now the real question.....do I plug my LED's back in and run with them if they work? :dunno:
