so i got my new headlights put in yesterday, i got the stock 3 piece standard set from 50resto with the clear corners..looks really really great. however, now, my headlights don't turn on.the parking lights come on, but when you push the switch in to put on the headlights, nothing happens. my mechanic checked my fuse box, and nothing was wrong there.

however, when you pull the multi purpose switch to flash the high beams, they come on. put you can't push it to keep the high beams on, they don't go on then.

so now, i get to bring the car back in and have them rip into the dash to check the multi purpose switch and the headlight switch. has this happened to anyone else?? is it some stupid little common thing that i can do, or can tell him to do?? thanks guys.

my only idea would be a blown fuse...which u said were all good.
whatever it is be sure to tell everyone.
its prolly just a coincidence that ur headlight switch went bad right when u put new ones in...or something like that.

yeah that's what me and my mechanic both think it is...because my old headlights were dim as sh*t and sucked...but, when i turned the headlights on, they came on...so it can't be something real major, because an hour before i brought the car, they worked..

Hmmmm, very odd. You didn't put them in yourself?

Albizo66

no, i was going to with the help of my buddy, but i worked at a gas station over the summer as an attendent, and helped out in the shop a lot.the mechanics there are very good, very reputable and have been around for 30+ years. they take care of me there, so i figured why not get it done professionaly..

Both ironic and comical...did they check the right fuse box?

Isn't it a pretty easy job putting them in.....? Other than its a pain in the @ss to get your hands in the tight spots.

hahaha everyone's a comedian...yes i know it is an easy job, i helped my buddy put them in his 95 5.0 when he got it, i can do it, know how to, it's easy...but i didn't have the time (college kid) or patience really, so i brought it to them..i am leaving it there all next week while i am at school and letting them look at it

...i hate being a broke college kid haha..there go my seats i was gonna get

ok, update guys, picked the car up yesterday. it was the switch, and they replaced it, along with another half dozen or so wires from my dash that were all sh*tty and would have given out. my headlights are SO much brighter now, but damn..mustang headlights still suck a lot in terms of projection as compared to my parents' cars (brand new escape and galant). oh well, i'll jsut drive with my high beams on haha.

oh, and PS..i had them check my tranny fluid, and all was good, but my front right brake line is stretched out to it's limit, and abotu to break..so now my brakes can go at any time WOOOO. so no i'm dropping the car off again sunday night for them to work on during the week while i am at school...

all i want to do is buy a damn SLP catback and everything just keeps putting me behind...
