Default FB gsl lights will not work need help stat

so i'm having issues with my fb, i was putting in a new wheel in the end i mixed up the wipers and the light plugs, got that sorted out now i'm having more issues

the wipers work correctly before they were on all the time (when i was mixed up )

now that is correct my headlights don't function, running lights work blinkers and hazards work but the lights will not go up nor turn on even when you hold the high beam back..... i have no idea whats going on here

is there a relay i'm missing that could have been fucked ?? please any advice will be appricated

Check your fuses with a DVM. Could be ones blown from the plug mixup and its just hard
to see it.

If you are thinking of buying new lights you can go for LED lights.

it ended up being a link, and i cannot find more so it looks like i'll be converting here shortly..

on another note to the led guy, i'm going to retrofit some projectors in there and see what i can come up with.. i do it in just about anythign else so i'm going to see what i can do somethign that is simple and classy and keeps the round lights and everything

You can get replacement fusible links at any autoparts place. These kind fit right in
perfectly.



Here they are at one store.
