Default Need Help ASAP! DA Headlight wiring problem!

here goes a long explanation...

got in a wreck, front end was damaged. brought her into a shop and had them align my frame and install new rad. support/bumper support. just got the car back this week and i've had "lighting" problems the second i drove it home.

i noticed my right turn signal stays on at all times. my headlights are dim. and some other mixed combinations of ON/OFF lights.

yesterday i installed my 1pieces(included harness/bulbs) i spliced the headlight wires and highbeams, but left the running lights USDM. this is where it gets GAY. when my light switch is OFF. passenger side headlight/city light is dim. turn the switch once, nothing happens. turn it once more, driver side headlight is bright, passenger headlight is dim, bumper lights are ON(not suppose to be on). and the combination gets worse when i push the Fog light button. oh yeah, couldnt drive my car at all last night because tail lights dont turn on and the lights inside the car (gauge, climate control, CD deck)

anyone have any idea how to correct this? if it takes all day(which i doubt) i'll do it. but i need help fast. thanks for reading

Ouch, sucks to here about that. If you had problems with it the second you drove it home I would have took it back and told them to fix their work that they didn't do properly. When I installed DA JDM 1piecers I accidentally hooked up the headlight turn signal to the daylight lights and that blue the fuse, making me lose daylight corners, and my tail lights. Make sure you hook everything up right or else your going to blow fuses in your fuse box in the cabin. Check your wiring and check your fuses, double check it, and then triple check it. I had the same problem with my tail lights cause the fuse blew out. And untill you fix your wiring problems it will continue to blow your fuses.

i was coming back to this thread to say "delete" because i found 2 blown fuses.
but yeah, good looking though

i still have a minor problem. when i have the fogs on... and the light switch is "OFF" the passenger headlight dims as well as the city light.

check the accessory ground, make sure none of the ground wires going to it are cut/broken.

it is behind the passenger headlight, accessible from in front of the rad.
