I installed my phillips hid's last night along with my piaa fogs and clearance strip lights. however, when i turn on the lights only my headlights and fogs come on. my sides, clearance, and tail lights are all out. i've done this many times before so i dont know what the problem could be. i making an appointment w/ the dealer today. any ideas on what i cound have done wrong???

 

sounds stupid but make sure everythings connected?

 

yeah, i re did that about 3 times.

i did the passenger side first, everything was ok. then i did the driver side, i tested them to make sure. and then realized that all the lights except for the headlights were out.

headlights, fogs, turn sig's, and interior light are the only ones that work.

 

Fuse?

 

ha, funny you say that, i just thought about that. and i got offthe phone with the dealer a little while ago. he said the same about the fuse. And the earliest he can get me in is tuesday due to the holiday so i'll have a little time to play around w/ it. he also said he would have to take off my front bumper to get to the headlights or clearnace. what BS.

now i'll have to check my fuses theres one on the driver side panel and one by the battery correct. how hard is it to get to the one by the battery?

 

Not really, all you have to do is remove all the push fasteners and the cover comes right off.

 

The fuse box is hidden behind the left side of the battery. You need take apart the lower passenger side windshield trim to get to it.

 

i will give it a try tonite and let you know, if you can think of anything else please let me know.

 

I can almost guarentee that it is a blown fuse. The exact same thing happened to me when I was testing out an LED circuit I made the other day. Good luck.

 

+1.

Fuse locations are as you say....d/s kick panel, and batt area. Some of the fusable links are a little strange looking but look for an index of the f/boxes' contents for clues.

Sounds like the dealer's charges might be a little 'exorbitant' , or was he thinking that he needed to check you h/light assembly and wiring?
