headlights won't turn on

95LegendGS · 05-08-08, 10:41 PM

I can't see

well after installing the HID's I went to hit the high beam switch and when I did the headlights turned off. So looking at fuses none blown. my only thoughts could be that the headlight relay is blown. The HID's are fused before they get power that fuse is fine as well as both 20 amp fuses in the engine bay. Is there others I should be looking at? Any more tips? where it could be and does anyone have a working relay?

Well changed the HID harness and headlight relay in the engine bay. Still nothing. Whats my options here? Is there more fuses then the 2 20 amp ones in the engine bay? Another relay? Could have the wiring fried? I need all opinions here for things to check because I can't drive with no lights on. I'm at wits end and about to junk this damn car over it.

So you have bi-xenons or a separate HID kit for the high beams or your halogen high beam won't work with low beam HID's installed?

I haev a bixenon hid installed in my jdms (hi and low beam in the one spot), I figured out what happened now I need to figure out how to correct it. The one wire was red/yellow (positive for hi and low beam) and the other was a red/blue wire ( i didnt know at the time that it was a ground) so i had the red/yel and red/blue attached and when I flicked the high beam they shut off. My thinking is it caused a short which would pop a fuse correct? If so where.
