Headlight Issue
Here's the deal:
I got a JDM Front End, and JDM Headlights with it.
I got'em wired up properly, and they were working, then they stopped.
They have proper ground.
They are wired correctly
Both positive wires are getting power.
No fuses are blown.
It's not a bad bulb.
Am I missing something here?
If it helps, this is the Passengerside headlight thats givin me ****.

I don't man that is a wierd issue. I'm sure you have run over all the wiring but that is the only thing I can think of. Is it a bad relay or something?

You got me man, IDK jack about wiring/electronics.
and ROFL at you fillin in for Bart.....but I'd almost have to agree.
I mean I swear to god since I put this thing on (JDM Front) everyweek, one or the other headlights decides it doesnt wanna work.

LOL Todd just messaged me this link. BTW you did check the bulbs right? I had the weirdest issue when wiring up my tuck the other day. The only way the turn signals would work is if I had one side wired to green/yellow, and the other wired to green/blue. I did away with the parking light/signal, I just have the parking lights, and the seperate bumper signals. I decided against side markers. So if you wire your up like that take notice. Double check all your connections, fuses, and grounds. Also check for power coming out of the switch in the stalk. I've never hear of the switches in an EF going out, but seeing as you are dealing with a cursed car anything is possible.

Come on now Bart you gotta give me more credit then not checking the bulb.
It's only on the PS that the lights out. It's fully functional on the DS.
The everytime I make a wiring alteration before I try it, I make sure the bulbs good by pluggin it in on the DS.
I know the wiring are going to the proper terminals b/c it was workin before.
I'm just stumped.....

It's not I wasn't giving you credit, it's just that sometimes the easiest answer is the most overlooked. Time to start probing with the multi meter.

How should I go about doing that? I've never had to do this before and I'm not the most familiar with the process.
I did test the terminals of the headlight plug, and they both get power so I dont see where there'd be a problem anywhere else.

i was once told that the last car on gms' production line recieved as many defective parts as possible. now im thinkin the y-49 crx's recieved the most, if not every, defective part honda had, producing the curse we know as the "y-49 curse."

Haha maybe, but in this case the culprit was our jdm clips (plugs, whatever)
I cut the wires off the clip to check for power, and immediately everything was cool, so I'm think wtf? It had to be the ground.....
I go to double check by twisting the wires together back with the plug, when I feel a dip in the ground wire part, off the JDM clip. The ****** copper or whatever inside had seprated due to twisting, but the plastic/rubber covering hadn't ripped so I didnt see this.
I noticed it immediately, just took off the little metal part of the clip and put my own ground wire on it, and voila good to go.
