Default Problems with headlights, extended them to hide in fender, now the dont work!

For some reason they dont work now. Like the only side that gets power is the city lights which i wired in with the turn signals so they come on with the first click. Now for some reason though even in the off position they still get power, well not both city lights but just the drivers side one. Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I checked the ground on each harness, and they are good to go.

Sounds like you wired something wrong, Id take it back apart and double check all your connections and make sure you have it all pined out correctly again.

Did you check your fuses? Maybe you shorted something?

Yea i checked the ones under the dash, nothing. Cause like i wired it up and then plugged the battery back up. And for some reason just the drivers side city light was on, not even the passenger side was on. And then i tried to see if the switch inside the cabin would work, with no luck. For some reason the red wire to the city lights was 'hot'. It was giving power while the other side wasnt, I have no clue why.

Don't mean to sound like an *******, but I'm sure the manual, being the informative thing that it is, probably has some sort of table of contents or index...
