Check fuses. Since you said " Tried replacing normal halogen bulbs " im guessing you had different bulbs in there.

If you had a higher wattage bulb, you have more current load on your high beam circuit. Or if you got an aftermarket one regardless of the wattage, or just different colour temperature it also can effect it.

Your high beam shouldnt be blowing unless you use it very often. Another thing to check for is any condensation in the headlight or water. Slightest contamination on a halogen bulb will blow it.

I dont know about Hondas in general but most modern cars run relays for practically anything that draws current. I doubt theyll run seperate relays for each side bulbs. But its good to check, unless someone can confirm they share a relay or dont use one at all.

thanks OMG. well there is no condensation, and the fuse is fine. i find it really weird that only one side work and the other doesn't. i did have Hids in there. and it was working fine till today, also i rarely get to use my Hid highbeams.. mmm i dont know hey...im thinking could it be the plug???

Check the connector and wiring. Look for signs of melting. Change to another halogen bulb. The one you tried might be dead for some reason.

Your car should still be under warranty. If I were you I will bring it straight back to the dealer to let them sort it out. After all that is the reason for paying big bucks, buying new for a peace of mind.
