My headlights won't turn on. The last few weeks they have been sketchy, ie I need to flick the switch on and off a few times before they fire up, or either the left/right light will come on, but not both of them at the same time.
I seem to notice it happening more often when it rains, but somehow I think it is just a coincedince. I'm guessing its a wiring problem, but I don't know what it could be, as it affects both the left and right lights. It used to work by switching on/off a few times, so all the wires should be hooked up correctly. |

just came back inside after playing around with wiring for a few hours, and the stock headlight bulbs (9006) worked when I plugged them into the stock harness, so the harness and "head" relay are working. I tried plugging the HID harness into the pass headlight lead/connector (currently using drivers connector) and that didn't help.
The only thing I can think of that might be faulty would either be the bulbs themselves (both of em) or both of the ballasts. Unless the ballasts won't activate if one is faulty, but I don't think they are connected like that, are they? |
