just got done cleaning the inside of my s13 1991. went to go out tonight , to find out that both head lights are out and so are the front side markers. i checked all fuses and they seem ok. i didn't mess with anywires that i know of while cleaning. any other ideas beside buying new lights? thanks guys.

don't see how it could be all those bulbs going bad at once. has to be a fuse or switch or maybe a relay.

well i found the problem. user error. found out that my brights don't work. regular head lights do. so since my brights don't work, how do i fix that? relay switch. a fuse? or cars f@*ked? thanks for the response.

only wiring i've done is stereo. and since were talking wiring. my center console where all my ac buttons are doesn't work, never has. but when i first got the car the brights worked. other than that i have not messed with any stock wires. oh i also have an alarm installed.

probably the switch. i fixed headlight switch on another car once. the regular and bright have separate wires from switch.
