My hids went out, any thought? Usually work, but for some reason they went out. Emailed JJ, to let him know. High beams work. Which is weird.

check all the wiring and make sure the fuse is good. Are you using a relay kit or a drop in kit?

check your fuse, grounds and corrosion if any.

i believe if the high beams work the fuse should be fine.

at the parts that connect the wires together. Female and male peices. give the wire a small tug. mainly do the ones for the low beam resistors. I had a problem where mine would blink and or stay off. a wire just wasnt crimped good enough to the connector. if that is the case you can go to an auto shop and pick up a new connector. Or you can try and fix it.
I just bought a new connector.

also one more thing. test the resistors.

take the relay harness out of the pins
with a multimeter check for OHMs on the resistors
find a good ground for your black wire for your multimeter.
you will be testing the fins that plug into the stock OEM headlight connector.
there are 3 fins. you will be testing the 2 outer ones.
If i remember correctly they should have about 7ohms.

I got the heads to work. One of my red wires and ground came loose. So I went in and fixed it. So I'm gonna try to get my truck inspected. Then worry about the rest lol

all the same stuff. check the grounds, check for a wire pulled from the resistors, etc.
