im not getting you, roll ball thing?? whats that?? do you mean the light switch?, well if the low/high beam is coming on when you flick the switch then it might be the fuse.. the fusebox is located behind the battery..i fused one of the fuse before... you could start from checking there...

I would start with the fuses... the roll back this is for the dash lights and in car illumination which the fuse is located in the drivers kick panel.... I am not sure about the DRL

Sorry i tried there last time and came out blank... mine was all written in japanese...i found the fuse behind the battery, in a black box, you need to slot the box up out to reveal the fusebox..


Photo of kickpanel fuse


this is the fuse cover beside the kickpanel... there is no illumination here...

if your city lights, rear lights, and clear corners don't work it's the fuse behind the battery.. first fuse in the upper left corner.. its a 15a i believe

err i dont have that in my car so i cant comment.. but my guess is light dimmer should be only for the internal dash light ...

you dont mind taking a pic of the roll ball and post it here...

just to reconfirm, you did check behind the battery right? its there...

okay, please do let us know if youve actually checked behind the battery for the fuse... NOT the kickpanel...as elayman said... first fuse on the top ... 15A

2.. all the running is not lighting up? or just the tailights, does the dash light dim down, or the front nightlight light up? please do explain more specifically.. i wanna help but i need more clear awnsers...
