Yes, i know its been takled about before, and I searched, and I went through 6 pages, and couldnt find anything that really helped me.The bulbs are good, they are connected, THEY STILL dont turn on.Also, the windshield wipers arent working... they used to, but now they dont. I'm getting frustrated... Also, I tried to get into the online FSM that someone had in their sig, and it said the account is suspended... so im even more frustrated. ANYONE? Is there anything that could be disconnected? maybe underneath the steeringwheel area, that would make Neither the headlights OR windsheild wipers not work at the same time?any help is GREATLY appreciated. thanks a lot.

Check for blown fuses and relays under the hood and in the car.

considering the wipers are ****ered too, its most likely a relay. If it is a fuse, you probably blew more than one, which means you have a problem.

well i actually just went out and started the car, let it run for a minute and tried again , the lights still dont light up, but the wipers work (really weak though.) also, I hooked up the old halogen flip-up lamp, and it turns on (no low beam, but it turns on for high beam) no projectors though, at all.

I guess I'll check it out tomorrow after i get home from school.

I would have to say either fuses or a relay as well. If everything worked properly b4, then it is most likely one of the 2. Also check ground connections. 2 major ground connectors are found on the inside lower corners of the front support. Make sure these are not corroded too bad and are tight.

This is a hard problem for us to diagnose because so many silvia conversions are generally hacked in place. Unless you had a reputable shop do it or you are very good... 240 headlights are tricky in the first place due to the many function/combo switch setup from factory... A quick check can be made at the headlight harness (larger blue&red wires) for + 12v. If you have 12v or more, consider the ground side being the culprit... Check for continuity on ground side...
