So just as the title says.... at night when I turn my headlights on my taillights dont come on and my interior lights (instrument cluster, climate control... etc etc) do not light up! I recently had the JDM front end put on, I check all the fuses and none of them are blown, we tested all of them... anyways... just wondering if it could possibly be a faulty ground or a relay gone bad or something... any of you guys have any idea of what it might be? I need it done by friday for the Woodward dream cruse... hopefully I'll be able to make it

 

Check the sockets for the bulbs in the back with a test light. If your getting power
IF you not then work your way back to the firewall 6inches at a time on each wire checking to see what the power has been cut off.

PIA method. but will work.

 

thanks Bbasso

another thing I forgot to mention, when I arm my alarm the taillights and interior lights blink like they should, so there is still power goin to them, but when its flipped from inside the car they dont work

 

now ya tell me...

Then my guess... Something in the alarm.

 

haha aighty man, thanks a bunch, I'm gonna start rippin her apart and testin right meow

 

FUSEs

 

As crazy as it sounds it could deffinitely be the wrong BULBS. Sometimes when a dual element bulb is placed where a single element bulb goes it screws up everything. Check owners manuel for proper bulbs and check here for the proper bulbs to use with the JDM front. I had the jdm front on my first R but that was long ago so I dont recall what exact bulbs to use. Hope this helps. Also check the front headlight grounds as I am fairly sure there is one on driver and passanger side right on the inside of the aprons in engine compartment, they may be grounded but maybe if that area was painted during install you may need to scratch away some of the paint where it meets the car so you get a good grounding surface.

 

Instrument cluster and rear tails go off the same fuse if im not mistaken, so thats probably ur best bet.

 

thanks for all the input guys I really appreciate it... I'm still trying to locate the prob.
