Hey I got a problem. I recently changed my headlights to sum after market xenon ones, and as soon as i put them in the driver side headlight worked bright as it should, but the passenger side headlight was really dim and when i put the highbeams on the driver side got brighter and the passenger side one dimmed out completely. I heard from a friend that i might need a part to run the xenon headlights in a car that doesn't usually run one so i said forget that and put the regular stock style ones back in and they did the same thing that the xenon ones did (left side bright and good and passenger side dim or non existent) So I put the xenon one's back in cause if both lights are going to do the same thing it made since to put in the brighter ones.

But the other day I was leaving my buddy's house and they wouldn't turn on at all. the blinkers and side lights work as well as the lights inside. I checked all the fuses and even replaced them, but the headlights won't work and I can't get a voltage reading out of either side headlight.

I'm lost and could really use some help. I thought my electrical knowledge was pretty decent but I seem to be getting beat by something rediculous. If anyone has any ideas please help. thank you

i'm not sure about the Xenon bulbs requring an invertor, check the instructions that came with the lights.

but also check the plugs and wiring for any deformations, you may have nocked a pin out out of the plugs (higly unlikley)

also check the Relays that control the headlights. as thats how the headlights are turned on..

hope this helps,
