Hy guys, been off work for 2 weeks, so ive had a play with my car.
Changed dash bulbs for blue led's and swapped the green led's on the window switches to blue led's too, looks nice.
I havent put pics on this post as most of you guys have already done this mod anyway and know how they look.

The main reason for this post is i have dumped my fog lights and made the main oppening on the bumper bigger and then put some nice ( or should that be rice lmao.gif ) shinny stainless mesh in, pic does'nt do it justice.



Now the problem is my headlights dont work, my side lights do though, everything has been put back correct, no screws or bolts left out and everything reconnected except for the fogs.

So can anyone help me and give me a clue as what may have happened, if the headlights only work when the fogs are connected or somthing like that is the problem then how do i get arround this.

You probly nicked the wire with the mesh while installing it. Check your fuses. Also, we need pix of the LEDs

Looks good as far as I can see. Looks like a cheap way to turn the bland RD front into something a little nicer.

Yep your right, it was cheap and i think it looks better.

Tibnaked, i would'nt have nicked any wires as i disconnected everything and i took the bumper completely off, this was so i could secure the mesh propperly.

Thanks for your suggestion though.

then i suggest you buy new bulbs. If it's not the wires and it's not the connections, the only other thing you messed with is the bulbs.... maybe?



if the problem actually happend right after you did this mod and you didn't do any others, it's a wire or a connection. probly a wire got pinched and made a connection with ground. check fuses.

Thanks, i'll check fuse's and i'll try my wifes bulbs from her Tib, my bulbs seemed o.k. though when i looked at them as most of the time you can tell by looking if they have blown and you always get that little rattle noise if you shake them.

Redz , will try to take better pic later. going to do that TBbypass today ready for when i get my induction kit (birthday prez).
