So I was installing my LED bulbs that I got for the high beam/DRL light..

Plug and play kit...

At first i plugged it in just to see if it would work and it lit up, everything looked fine. So I go to do the actual install and once i had everything in and plugged in, it wouldnt light up

All other lights work except for my daylight running lights/high beam lights.

When I turn the high beams on inside the car, it turns the fog lights off.

I put everything back to normal and plugged the normal OEM bulbs back in and now they also don't work.

So right now I have no daylight running lights or high beams. Can anybody help or know what may be the problem?

Check the fuse. Also, you may have plugged your LEDS in backwards. Sometimes aftermarket connectors are reversed....

I tried switching around the connectors and it still didnt work.

But even now with everything plugged back to normal, it doesnt work anymore.

I've also checked all the fuses related to the lights and they all look good (all the ones that I know of anyways).

Do you know all of which fuses i can check? ill take another look just incase. I remember having trouble finding the fuses for the DRL or high beams.

The same thing happened to me. Check your fuses. It should be in the engine compartment on the driver side. It'll be a little 15amp low profile fuse.

e brake on?

thanks I'll check that out and see.

Do you know how this happened?

And also do I have to do something different to prevent this from happening again if the blown fuse is actually the problem?

nope my DRLs dont work at all...

Your fogs turn on when your high beams should? Interesting... not sure how that would be fuse related but I'm not an electrical expert.

When he turns his high beams on, his fog lights shut off. I was told that was normal. Whether or not this is true...I'm not sure ...

I'm not sure how it caused the fuse to blow, but when I installed it, I tested it without having connected everything ( i know..) to first test my parking lights. Then when I put the 2 DRL modules in, they didn't work. Thinking I'd done it backwards, I tried flipping the input connector. That didn't work. so I tried putting my original bulbs back in and they didn't work either! So I checked the fusebox in the engine compartment on the driver side and found the fuse corresponding to the high beams/DRL and sure enough, it had blown! I bought a new low profile 15amp fuse, replaced it, and both modules lit right up.

Just make sure you have everything connected before you test anything...maybe buy a few extra fuses in case it blows again. In my case, since I'd put my original bulbs back in, I "installed" the modules before I replaced the blown fuse with the new one.

^ Oh, j/k. I read his post wrong. Yeah, that's normal for the fogs to turn off whenever your high beams are activated. Doing the standalone fog mod allows you to get around this though.

Phew! Glad to get confirmation that's normal . I rarely used the high beams and so never noticed that before!

it is normal for your fogs to turn off when your high beams are on. the only way to bypass it and have your fogs on while your high beam are on, is use a switch for your fogs so therefore making those independent and you can turn on your high beams with the fogs on via its own switch.

dmLsix

So I just checked my fuses and you were right, it was a blown 15amp fuse.
I just replaced it and it all works good now.

thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated.


Also glad to hear that it's normal for the fog lights to turn off when the high beams are turned on, I have never noticed that and thought something might be wrong.

^^ I thought that was weird the first time too. With my old car the fog lights would stay on lol

Are there any spare 15 fuses in our car?

I believe so. Check underneath the fuse box cover in your engine bay.
