Hey guys, just signed up and from Vancouver Island. Been driving my 93 kick as a daily for over a year now, done every mod/repair to it myself and am on a tight budget now that I have a mortgage after I built myself a house. Only light stuff so far nothing major, just want to get it tip top before I start building it up as a daily commuter/weekend warrior.
What I have is a 93 kick, 2 door, 5 speed, removable hard top 4x4 with manual hubs and is in prime shape too. No rust, clean in and out, spotless.
My current problem is I keep blowing out both headlight bulbs. Was subtle at first but now is instant. Headlamps are mounted solid, no vibrations, bulb harnesses aren't burnt, under hood green(40) fuse appears fine as well as both blue(15) fuses under dash. Installed a voltmeter gauge wired into cd player switch wire and reads 14.5 when running. Same altenator and battery since I purchaced over a year ago. I've also tried 3 different name brand bulbs at different price ranges.
Apparently is a semi common problem but can't seem to find anything informative on the net. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
