Headlight HELP
Feel like an idiot but it's late and i cant figure this **** out. I am installing HID's and connected everything on the drivers side correctly (low beam)
Went to turn on the lights and nothing....connected stock back up and nothing....tested harness and i'm getting no power to my drivers side harness but my brights work on both sides and my passenger lows work. Is there a relay that i cannot find?

might be a dumb question, but did u make sure u snapped all 3 plugs back together? (obviously u did the one for brights..)
when its late and you're frustrated, could be something that u might have easily overlooked...

Turns out i had everything connected correctly, which i knew this.
I had isolated the problem to something cutting the power to my harness by using my voltmeter and testlight. Well i found out that this was being caused by the TIPM or Total Integrated Power Module, this is the module that holds all of our fuses and control the power to the headlights. It had sensed a discrepancy in my low beam and cut power to it...no idea why but it ended up doing the same thing to my passenger side later as well. My fog lights were installed flawlessly.
The fix action was to
. Disconnect the negative terminal (battery)
. Unhook HID Ballast from stock harness and return stock bulb
. Connect the negative terminal (battery)
. Turn on headlights (it should work now)
. Turn off headlights and disconnect negative terminal (battery)
. Unplug stock bulb and reconnect HID ballast
After this was done i was able to reconnect the negative terminal on the battery and my HIDs worked. Hooked up my passenger side and i was having the same issue as the drivers, did the same procedure and now everything works
