Default GT Headlight Switch=No Headlights

I replaced my broken headlight switch with a GT one yesterday. Tonight was the first time I have driven the car after the sun set. I turned my headlights on and my headlights don't come on. I had to drive 15 country miles with my flashers and parking lights.
The only difference I can see between the LX and GT switches is the fog light switch.

Is my headlight switch busted or do I need to mod something? How can I check the switch? Do I need to unplug the fog light switch?
Thanks for the help.

Did you make sure it was plugged in all the way? I know mines always pulled out so I used some tape to hold it in

I will try that but I know I made sure it was in there. I have never had a problem with that before though.

Needs some adjusting, but it looks 100 times better 924banger.

Yeah the pass side headlight doesn't go all the way down for some reason. The driver side went in like it should though. I'm still trying to figure out why that one lense doesn't seat all the way.
It's amazing how much better the car looks with new lights.

Are you only having trouble with the headlights or with all 6 pieces? For the parker lenses I had to drill the holes a little so the plastic rods would go in.


How would I wire the little lights on the headlight lenses to the fog light switch?

Well I had to buy the plug that connects to the switch. A few of the tabs were broken so they wouldn't stay connected. I also got them adjusted enough to see at night.

Now how do I wire up the second set of lights to the fog switch? Anybody have a wiring diagram for the factory fog lights?
