Headlight is out.

The passenger side headlight on my '96 civic went out so I replaced the bulb. The headlight still wouldn't go on. so I replaced the bulb again, still no dice. anyone have any ideas on what happened? or what could diagnose/remedy it? maybe I burnt the wires up using the wrong wattage bulbs?

should have checked your owners manual for bulb wattage

I'd try checking the fuse for that headlight first... Is both low and high beam not working? If the fuse is good, you may have fried the wiring if you used higher than stock wattage bulbs.

thats what i figured, i guess i just wanted to get a second opinion before i start ripping out wires. the fuse is fine. anyway, thanx we'll see if i can replace the harness.
