Default Passenger headlight not working

3small issues 1st.. my clock NEVER turns off. is that normal?

2nd my light on th tranny P R N D4 D3 ect doesnt light

and i have no low fuel indicator light

are these issues normal? not of major concern tho just curious

ok so i bought a 2000 accord like 10 months ago n everything worked fine, i changed my headlight bulbs to silverstars then 2 days later the passenger light went out, i put the stock light back in that side only n it worked hfor about 3 days then went out, i put the other stock 1 in and roughly 3 days again it went out...
I bought TYC projector headlight assembly that came with H1 bulbs n everything worked fine for about a week then the passenger side went out AGAIN.... opened it up and the connector that came with the H1s were bad so i spliced it to the cars harnessn it worked fine WITH THE SAME BULB then 4 days later the same side goes out?

any1 has any clue what specifically i should look 4 to fix this? everything else works fine

You might have some sort of shortage going to the headlight. Another thing you might want to check out are ur fuses

are you touching the bulb with your bare hands? you shouldnt touch the glass part.

sounds like your cars got a mess of electrical problems. as far as the transmission lights not working, i would pull the dash apart to check if the wires going to that are getting power / plugged in. it doesnt seem likely that every one of those would have burned out.

your fuel light could just be burned out.

Is your guage cluster modified at all? It sounds like two things to me.... The dash wiring or lights is messed up and you're getting some oil/grease on the bulbs when you replace them.

Make sure your grounds are good too....

Have you looked at the plug? I installed high wattage bulbs in my accord and i melted the harness. So this might of happened to you.I bought 2 plugs off ebay for like 14 shipped.

THe plug that goes in the 9006 bulb, you can get ones that handel heat better and wont melt with higher wattage bulbs. hids are a little different so in am not sure about tho's
