i was driving last night and when i hit a bump my head lights strobe'd and then went out as well as my stereo. and didn't come back on. although my running lights still work and all other power. just no head lights and stereo, any ideas what could have happened? thanks.

did you check fuses? this is the only thing I can think of because if it was the headlight switch or the high/lo switch it wouldn't bother the radio. Good luck!

ya, fuses seem to be fine, also i thought it might be the head light switch but it is sending power and i can switch between high and low but still no head lights.

Devil Pup · 07-25-2009, 07:48 PM

just take a voltmeter to the plug at the back of the buylb to see if you have 12v if so either bad bulbs or bad ground connection

sounds like a ground wire popped loose.

well i have HID headlights, lot of wires and ballasts ect. . . but i did pull em and placed halogen bulbs in and they turned on, found two wires that fried and welded themselves to my battery tray. gonna replace those and get replacement HID kit from the warranty on them. thanks for everyones help. question now is to either go with the new "10K deep blue" or "12K Deep Purple" what do you guys think?
