Check the fuses and relays. They have a separate fuse & relay for each
side.

Hi,
Check all the related fuses, relays and ground wires from light sockets.

Hi,
If he messes with non OEM higher Wattage bulbs, it can melt wires or
cause fire!

On top of all the other damage already referenced by other posters, if
this guy is in Canada, he may have also damaged his daytime running
light module. I had problems with my right side headlight operating
intermittantly (regular wattage bulbs!) and the problem ended up being
a cold solder joint inside the supposed "No user repairable parts
inside" module. Hmmm... $140 for the module vs. 15 cents of
solder..... easy decision, but thats off topic here.

Went to OEM honda bulbs - works. Wires are ok, got a hell of a deal,
was only charged half hour for labor to check the switched and wires.
