Did you check the fuses? Are the H13 bulbs new?

Mark J Phillips

I did check the fuses and they are good. Both low beam fuses are good. And yes the headlights are brand new.

Did the hids have a harness?

The hids had a box and a relay and they were 3 wires inserted in the factory harness and taped on. I just got the truck used btw.. this was not my doing

Also high beam light on dash comes on when I start my truck now.. no lights at all still.

When you turn on your headlights, do the marker lights, taillights, etc. work?

Did you remove the 3 wires and make sure the original wires have continuity? The regular halogen bulbs won't work if the ballasts for the HIDs are in the circuit.

In genereal headlight issues are relatively simple. It's either fuses, bulbs, or connection.

Get a 12v tester (a little cheap one that the bulb lights up when powered is all that's needed) and check along the power circuit.

Here's a diagram of the 11th Gen lighting circuit:

It may be a little similar but I have no Idea where that hid ballast is at in the circuit . Do you have turn signals ,fogs , tail lights etc .
