Default Headlight Issues :(

Just I quick rundown: I have HID's installed in my heads and fogs. My headlights have a relay for the HID's and resistors are wired into the lights. Everything has worked flawlessly for a pretty good while now (about a year, year and a half) and last night I go to turn on my lights and the headlights WILL NOT turn on.

No matter what I try they just will not turn on. All my other lights work just fine (HID fogs, Light bar, Running lights) but not my headlights. None of the wiring has been messed with, nothing changed at all, actually, and all of a sudden the damn things won't work.

I'm hoping to get some insight from some of the HID/electrical guru's before I start worrying myself too much thinking its the TIPM because I have zero money to spend on this damn truck anymore.

Here's hoping it's something simple.. I wouldn't mind if I had to get another HID kit or something like that, just nothing major.

Figured it out. I was just messing around with all the wires (double checking they were all connected where they needed to be, grounded, etc.) and decided to check the fuses and that's where the problem was. The fuse in the relay harness had blown up. Luckily I just happened to have another harness in my garage so I swapped out the fuses and everything's all good now.

Mod's you can delete this post if you'd like

Do you have the bulbs mounted in the factory lamp housing?
