I recently tried fixing one of my lights that were out, so I bought new bulbs (HIDS) and it turns out that the bulb was not the problem. So then I checked the fuses, they were ok but I also pulled out the headlight relay while the headlight switch was on, when I plugged it back in, the headlights would not turn on after that, even with the switch on. I believ e I blew the relay, but If I switch my brights on the headlights work and later I found out that one of my ballasts was broken and that was the problem for the bulb. whenever I have to use my lights I stick a piece of wire in place of the relay and and always stays on unless I remove the wire. I also just got a used headlight relay from eBay but when I installed it, it didn't fix the problem. So I think it could either be the eBay seller gave me a broken relay? or is it something else? Also am I supposed to disconnect the battery when installing a relay? I didnt do that both times

Yea it was the relay, an eBay seller sent a USED relay but it was actually a broken one... tested it in my multimeter and there was no resistance
