lights

Finally went to get mine home. Got the tag and went to my step dad's office and we get to it turn it on And well... the front lights don't work. The turn signal lights work. The tail lamps work but not the actual head lights. Even the interior lights work. As far as I know it might be bad bulbs, bad fuse or bad connection.what do y'all think? I'm gunna look at it tomorrow when I get home...
I might upload a pic.
Thanks.

Well check your fuse first...that's probably your cheapest replacement. Then I'd check your bulbs. After that I don't know!

One of my headlights was out when I purchased my car. It was just a blown bulb...actually I could tell that water had gotten into the headlight and ruined the bulb.

OK thanks I'll check that tomorrow.

Cheapest first?? You would be fired as a service writer !!

[Powerstiva]

Haha, yea... Clearly you need a whole new headlight assembly including the bracket!....
Seriously though its probably just a blow fuse, or your wiring at the switch might be messed up.

I checked all the fuses inside and the 30 amp one next to the light. I also checked the bulbs. Everything was fine... but they still don't work.

So that is how it looks...

Just use your one Cyclops headlight!

[KJ4YXY]

That doesnt work. It would come on if I have my high beams on, but those dont work... even when you turn on the highs the blue light in the car doesnt come on.

Neither hi-beam or low beam? If you have a VTOM pull the plug off the lights and check for voltage. There will be two hots and one ground. If there is no voltage you are going to have to follow the wires in the harness back till you find where the wires are broken. A broken ground wire will cause both hi and low to fail. Electrical jobs are the worst. JUst take your time. Good Luck

Where would I find the ground?

Where would I find the ground?

Post #9 is a good place to start. And get a test light if you dont have one. They are indispensable when looking for problems like yours.

Alright guys. Thanks for the help. I tested the voltage and found out that the light bulb is ok but it wasn't receiving power. So I fiddled with the disable linkage box and it worked.

I'm thinking headlight switch...

Very nice! Cyclops light working too now?
