Omg help now please

I installed blue led lights in the clear corners and strips down the headlights and before tonight they would only turn on when i would flip the switch halfway down the stalk and they would operate independently of my normal headlights. But tonight i noticed that they are always on no matter what i do. I was thinking it could be a fuse but all the fuses look to be in good condition and plugged in. I also just installed the under drive pullies like a couple weeks ago but this problem only started tonight.

Because these lights are really illegal i need any and all help asap.

I called infiniti and they are like I have no idea how to turn them on or off.

Um, who installed the lights -- you? How did you wire it??

You obviously had a SPDT relay to deliver power to the aftermarket LED's that are driven by the single throw toggle switch you installed on the interior of the car.

It would seem that a) your relay is bad and stuck in the 30->87 (always on) position)
or b) your toggle switch is defective and not disconnecting the circuit

Find the 12 vdc power power to the LED's and snip it and electric tape it off and figure out what part of your circuit is bad.

Or if you don't know what i'm talking about -- have the dude who installed it do this for you.

ok so before they were turning on and off with my fog light switch and not my headlight switch. THe fog light is half way down the stalk and the headlight is at the top of the stalk. Also before they would turn on even if the fog light switch was off if i had the headlight switch in the mode before turning the headlights on and after the auto position.

i fail to understand why you would put these on your car at all knowing how illegal they are... but just wire a simple switch in-line with them and they'll be fine...

your OEM relay for the fog lights is defective... that needs to be replaced -- pull the bulbs and replace with OEM bulbs, and take to dealership

is there anyway that my underdrive pullies caused this and would it be under warranty and is it easy to replace? If it is i might just do it my self. I took out the bulbs this afternoon and didnt replace them.

Since you modified the bulbs with non-OEM parts, the warranty won't cover the repair. What happens when you put the stock bulbs back in place of the LEDs?
