I just got my 93 si HB, It had hids on, they were pulling way to much power, so I removed them and put the stock bulbs back stock, All my fuses are fine but three, IM ether guessing its the main relay or the Alternator.
I tested the main relay top three prongs on it Im guessing are grounds
the four on the bottom of the relay only have fire to three of the prongs on the relay!!!! can sum one point me in the right direction???

did you check any fuses?

HID's only draw 35 watts of power. Your regular bulbs draw 55-65 watts of power. ie, if you were having charging problems you just made the problem worse.

except when the hids first power up, they draw over 20 amps and can fry the stock wiring.

What, Really? That's over 240 watts. Even a HO Alternator couldn't keep up, you'd need 2 of them! So if you run HID you really need a deep cell battery, since your draining it every time you turn on the lights?

it's only for about the first 15-30 seconds. after that, they'll pull about 40-45 watts per ballast/bulb. it's 35 watts at the bulb, but no ballast will be 100% efficient. but the high amp draw during startup is long enough to potentially fry your stock wiring. that's why you need a relay harness. it's triggered by your light switch, but the power comes from the battery, so it doesn't burn up your tiny stock wires.

yea hid's dont draw much for power.

did you completly remove the balast for the hid's? if you didn't then that is your problem. also checkj the bulb's and see if they are still find. try replacing then with new ones they should only cost a couple bucks

All the HID stuff has been removed from the car; stock lights are back in. I checked the fuses, and they are fine.. except for 3 of them (2 10 amps, and 1 7.5 amp). I am trying a new main relay tomorrow.

Rep Power: 0

Their is one 7.5 fuse and two 10 amps that will get no fire. I tried repalcing the relay today but my car wouldn't turn over today!! it gave me a clicking sound !!! i guess its a battery but when i jumped the car off the headlights work but the rear running lights still dont work!!!!

Rep Power: 0

Do the front marker lamps work ??

Cluster and HVAC illumination lighting at night ??

What are the names associated with the fuses you mentioned ??

 
Rep Power: 0

front markers all work,dash cluster has a neon that comes on and goes off i think its burned out,

 
Rep Power: 309

The front markers (parking lights) and the taillights should be on the same fuse (which is o.k. if the fronts are working)

I'm assuming you also are missing your licence plate lights as well ??

You should locate and download one of the free factory service manuals from the web for your model (helps with wire colors, connector locations and such)

You will need to trace back from the trunks taillight wiring forward and find where voltage is being lost.

on the fuse box: sockets 18,19 have no fuses, 20 has a 7.5 fuse in it and is not gettn no fire not even with a 10 amp fuse. socket 10 has no fuse in it ether!!!

just get a new battery, replace ur fuses, look for a short in ur wires, and get a better alternator.
