hey guys i wired up my hellas i got today and for some reason now the front lights under the headlights, the amber side marker lights and the tail lights wont turn off. ive checked the flashers for them and that isnt the issue, i dont kno what fuses to check cause i dont have a cover other wise id obviously id just look there. ive pulled the wiring from the hellas and that still didnt fix the problem. you guys think the switch is about to crap out on me?

 

cmon guys i really need some help!

 

Did you run the Hellas to come on with your parking lights?

 

no i wired them completely to a diff switch

 

I couldnt say then. Have you checked the wiring to your running lights for proper ground and what not.

 

not yet thats why im askin on here cause i dont kno what to check

 

Did you tap or splice into any other wires at all for your Hella switches or relays?

I know you said you ran separate wires, but where did you get the signal for the light on the switch? Also, the switched signal has to come from somewhere...did you simply use an ignition hot or did you tap into the high beam as shown with the instructions?

Are your grounds running to the chassis, body, or did you tie into an existing ground wire?

You said you removed the wiring from the Hellas...did you also disconnect the wiring from the switch and relay as well?

 

i pulled the power to the switch for the hellas from an open in the fuse block. the grounds for the hellas ar on the chassis and no i didnt mess with any of the factory wiring

 

move the + for the hellas directly to the 12v + of your battery, that is how my instructions say to wire the + side of mine with a relay.

worth a try.

 

the hellas arent even wired up right now so that wont matter or affect the runnin lights

 

it sounds like the headlight switch itself decided to go out, but it's odd that it happened now.

try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and reconnecting it, maybe some relay is stuck or something.

 

ok thanks if it isnt the switch or a relay what else do you think it could be?

 

Check headlight switch and if you spliced or tapped in to any wires for ground or power you could have accidently caused a ground loop that bypasses the switch...

 

i'd say the switch

 

do you have a remote starter, or aftermarket alarm? they can sometimes do this if somthing has messed with their setup..grounds, hood switch, etc..
