Default Headlight Fuse

I looked through my manual and only found a fuse number for high beams and fogs... can someone tell me where the headlight fuse is and what number? Thank You.

There is no fuse directly for each headlamp. They get power from the bussed electrical center and through the smartjunction boxmodule.

Are you looking to have them on when the headlights are on, or on a switch?

im up in Canada, and have DRL
i want to get HID's , but obviously want to disable them so they dont stay on whenever the car is running and ebrake is down, just when i actually turn on the headlights

like you said, there is no real fuse. would i screw something up if i put a swtich in the power wire for the headlights between the SJB and the actual headlight? essentially that switch would control whether the headlight gets power or not

TIA

The DRL I believe are a programable perameter for the Smart Junction Box. I haven't tried it yet. The dealermight be ablt toturn it off if not illegal

hackshack fixes are the only way to get around it heh

I'm having a similar problem. I wired my HIDs without changing anything else and now the lights sometimes refuse to power ON or can flicker at times. There are times though where I have no issues with them. I havethem setup to turn ON when I turn the headlight switch on.

Can anyone please let me know the best action to take or what I have to buy in order to get these lights working properly? Thanks.
