Default 90 Civic HB Headlight troubles. High Beams Only. Fuse's are fine.

Well kinda exactly what the title reads. For some reason I only have High beams. When I click back to low beams the headlights go out. I feel like a total dick when I drive at night blinding people. Dont know if its a fuse or something fishy with the wireing after the ZC Swap. Any suggestions would be great before I start ripping **** apart. Just for kicks heres a pic of my motor. Thanks Fella's

Okay well im a lazy bum but just checked the fuse's. Both left and right low beam fuse's were untouched and the correct size. I really have no idea. Is there a specific ground maybe left off since the swap?

So who knew how brittle the tailights are. So if the civic hasnt pissed me off enough im at the gas station after blinding people with my brights and I notice one of lights in the rear are burnt out. Shure enough I give it a tap and punch a hole in the lens. BS old civic.

How hard did you hit the thing to punch a hole in the plastic?!!

Anyway, check all the points from the headlights back to make sure you have power running to them...

Also if you touched any of the wiring for the headlights while doing the ZC Swap (Dont know why you would), make sure everythings plugged in to the right places.

Also check to make sure the plugs on the back of the lights are on tight, i know on some cars (Not sure about EFs, i havent had mine out yet...) the plugs will feel like theyre tight, but arent actually on until they click in.
