Hey, i'm not sure if this is a wiring issue.
My day time headlights work fine on both sides, but when i turn on my night lights only one headlight works, is it a wiring issue?

DAY


NIGHT

 

most likely since 5th gen civic never came with daytime running lights.

 

**** my cars doing that too

have you even tried replacing the bulb, come on, it's common sense.

 

Probably a fuse underneath the dashboard, by the drivers side. I thinks its a 13. This happended to me the othe day and i bought new headlights but when i replaced them, still did not work. Then i started to look at all the fuses and there it was, a burn fuse. Oh well, at least got new bright bulbs. Try abother bulb on the headlight too, that way if it doesnt work you can rule out the bulb. Good luck.

 

alright thanks, i'll check the fuse tomorrow morning

WTF !!! new headlights for a fuse problem

 

swap the bulbs first and try ur lights

do u mean when u put ur headlights on they both show up and then when u put ur high beams only one comes on? or visa versa?

if swappin the two bulbs doesnt work then check your fuses.

those look really bright for DRL's

 

yes because they make 3 filament bulbs

 

how the hell did u get DRL's on your 92-95 civic?

 

All civics in canada have em as soon as you release the e-brake.

 

i had no idea EGs had em in canada
u learn sumthin new eryday

 

i know his bulb is fine otherwise the DRLs wouldn't work hence its a filament H4 bulb and it will obviously use his low for low power which the DRL's are low currents to make the bulb light up but not to its 55w intensity... but then again with an H4 bulb you have a ground, positive low beams and hi beams... meaning the low positive could be the problem...
This is basically our H4 design with the 3 tabs on the bulb:

Ground:..........|.....|........ : High beam Positive
Low positive: ....._...

Am i making sense?
Maybe his DRLs are connected along w/the high and low positive part...
sucks

 

wait daytime was taken after the nightime pic on the same day just one minute later.??? WTF

 

thats ur relay i think check that

he was stating that the day pic was of his DRL's
and that the night pic was of his regular headlights

 

Do u think that ground could also have somethin to do with my subs cutting out on occasion??

do you look where he is from Canada. As far as I am aware most if not all veh in canada have to have daytime running lights.

 

I would start at the plug and work back could be just a ground. Are they oem wattage bulbs if not you could have melted the plugs.
are the daytime running lights oem or aftermarket equipment??

kinda what i was thinking...that and someone said to check the fuses

 

for those that didnt know, DRL are required by the DOT on all canadian built and reqistered cars.

 

i would check resistance on the grounds...

 

yeah get a clean metal ground on the chassis...
