Yeah, it's sort of like petting a cat. You can't *want* to do it. You need to let the rambling-derail-into-oh-my-what-have-I-done posts evolve organically.
Hmm... that's actually quite apropos. The organic analogy, that is... Because most of the super long posts are covered in shit, just like organic fertilizer.
i do
but with the post whoring on here i figured Mystery would come in and post something stupid and i would end up pointing at him and then we could all have a giggle.....Jeez!
Yea I hate black wheels too... Yep they are the original gunmetal.. But they need to be refinished badly. Ill probably elect to keep the same finish. Maybe a shade lighter. not sure yet.
Ive also noticed that once the low beam is engaged my LED turn signal on my drivers loses intensity ever so slightly. Barely noticeable but you can tell
so how would that happen? This only started happening when I got my new headlights installed. My switchbacks were flickering on the drivers side as well . FUCK
Do you see how this can bite you in the buttocks?
When I fuck up, 90% of the time I know who to blame and what to check!
Plus, aren't you super smart and a fully capable young man?
Stop paying people! Do you think any of the guys at the shop are gonna care about troubleshooting this? Do you think they'll know where to start? They might even play the oh TOny installed those, no, Igor did...now Theresa did...
Okay, better question, who did the headlights? Bruce? OEM ballasts? any weird DRL modules or led this or that? anything tapped to your low beam as a trigger?
Bruce headlights, OEM ballasts, LED DRLs and thats it. Everything was working fine until they put the headlights in, then I noticed things started flickering.
Yea I am smart But I hate putting the bumper back on is why I get the body shop to do it. Last time I tried doing that I put the bumper on too tight and it cracked my fucking paint. Never again!
I think your on to something about the polarity. Bi xenons are known for this if the polarity of the connector is reveresed. Again they are just a body shop so when it comes to wiring and ballasts and stuff, they know nothing about it
After i messed around with the lights a little bit it they both lit up so I'm thinking its a connection on the drivers side somewhere

check the plug into the ballast...
I know it'll only plug in ONE way, but that's to click, it might NOT click and still slide on upside down.
There are only really 2 connectors to check for the low beam.
I wonder if when they took out the old headlights if the wires came out of one of the connectors and they reversed it .
How hard will this be to trouble shoot. Im not taking the bumper off so I'm fucked lol
Dafuck man.
You either drive back over to the shop and throw dollar bills at them until it's fixed. Or you nut up and go start tearing shit off your car to troubleshoot by yourself.
We can't do shit for you from here in internet land. Go motorboat some tits or do work, son. Quit fucking around on the line.
I dont mind doing mechanical work and wrenching on shit but when it comes to ripping bumpers off (which I already fucked up once) and electrical/wiring I'm clueless
Uh...given the ultimatum you were given, I'd be motorboatin tits and not worrying about your "other" flickering headlights.
You can get to both connectors from the engine bay, ya big ole fuckin dummy.
Now you're just being lazy, not scared to hurt your paint. GO LOOK.
