Hello, I bought some Halo projector lights off ebay and installed them, this required splicing into the wires in the headlight harness. The lights were bad quality and i returned them and got my money back. I put the stock lights back on and now they flicker on and off, and at times they work fine and sometimes they are not very bright at all. Sometimes they dont even come on. The weird thing though is that the high beams work fine, and dont have any problems. When i took the aftermarket lights out i put electrical tape over the wire where the line tap went in. Would a new headlight harness fix this? There is 1 on ebay but im not sure of its quality

is there another place where i can get one? I would really appreciate your help i have to drive my car at night alot and its getting pretty dangerous. Thanks for your help.

 

Did you cut the wires to tie in the new lights or did you tie into the existing wiring without cutting? If you cut it and did a splice, when you redid the wiring some of your connections may be loose. Go back and check them all and solder them or use liquid electric tape (or butt end connectors, but they have problems also) to secure the connections. Regular electric tape will come undone with heat and vibration.

If you tied in to the existing wiring and didn't cut them, then when you removed the connector you probably damaged the wiring where the connector cut into the wiring. You will have to cut that section and reconnect as stated above. Basically speaking you have a loose connection and you have to track it down.

Worse case scenario the poor quality lights may have messed up the low beam relay or the headlight switch and you may have to replace one or both of those. I don't know about this car, but some vehicles have the relay built into the light switch.

 

ok, I noticed today that when i pull the switch all the way out as you would if you were turning on the high beams the normal lights come on and work fine. This is good but now i have no high beams. Any ideas on how i could get this back to normal? thanks

 

Did you try any of the things I mentioned previously? You have a bad connection or a bad switch is what it sounds like.

 

if your lights are dimming and turning off check your connection where you cut to put the aftermarket headlights in, you probably have a bad connection, i'd recommend cutting off the exposed wire, re-stripping each end and then butt-splice them together and see if that helps, if that doesnt help it sounds like some sort of connection problem possibly in your switch
