one of my lights wouldn't work so i checked out the bulbs and they both look good, so i tested the wires and the all was good. so i got a new bulb and sure enough the bulb was bad. i can't see how the bulb is bad so maybe one of you can, witch one is bad?

They burn out at the bottom area...you will not beable to see or tell but they do... specially the 100W bulbs.

 

didn't know that, thanks for the info. and it's the one on the left.

 

lol i feel smart now haha....but yea ive had allot burn out....its not just hellas its that kind of bulb it seems to have issues.

 

ya, but it sucks there not cheap. the dark spot on the right one is just shadow, the look exactly the same. that's what got me.

 

yea i know what you mean ive went through allot and when i had a light go out and looked at the bulb i thought it must of been wiring so i checked all my wiring then could do nothing but change the bulb and WALLA it works again...ive always had the filaments burn out on normal bulbs its very strange.

 

hella should really look at another bulb.

 

I like and use Hella's too however I also use the KC bulbs that have a 23 year guarantee - go figure that one out???

 

Maybe that's what happened to mine. I went to use my lights last night, but neither of them worked. The switch lit up, but the lights didn't come on. I looked at both lights, and they both looked ok. But I don't have the Hella bulbs, I switched them for Silverstar bulbs.

 

that's what i have now. but i've only had the light for 3 weeks and the bulb is dead already? what the heck hella!
