Default headlight and tail light problem...

Ok so I have projector headlights and one of them got moisture in it so I decided to today bake it and reseal it. Ok so here's my problem.. I'm in the reinstall portion of this project.. When hooking it back up it doesn't work more does any of the running lights on my whole truck now does not work I took the other headlight off just to see how it was wired just to see if I wired them correctly n I have been but they still won't turn on. What could be the problem???????

A guy just made a thread here 2 days ago when he took his headlights out and then put them back in, he somehow blew a fuse.

Ummm... check the relevant fuses, perhaps? Check the voltage @ each headlight connector without the heads connected with a DVM?

Are these the garden-variety cheap chinglish fleabay halogen 'projectors'?

Not much to go on here ....

good luck

Does the other headlight work ? The parking lights are a different fuse then the headlights , make sure to check them all .

So you have no parking lights In the back to ? What about your dash lights ? They are on the same fuse ? ... When I hooked mine up I had a short in the wire for the halo that kept blowing the fuse .
