Help!!!!
ok i blacked out my cleared headlights today. i thought everythging is good and gravy until i turned on the lights. the middle light on my passenger light is not workin and the front right turn signal is not blinkin like it should. the rear turn signal is blinkin but it blinks like i have hyperblinkers. and inside the car the arrow signal is blinking like i have hyperblinkers also. everything on the driverside headlight is working properly. what do you guys think i did wrong?? i noticed that there's four connectors 1 for the main lights 2nd is for the middle one(not sure about the name of it) 3rd is for the turn signals 4th is the brown color one( not sure where it hooks up). the brown connector on the driver side is connected somewhere but on the passenger side i couldn't find anything to connect the damn thing. and i dont remeber disconnecting it to anything. someone please help me!!!!!! i don't want to go to the dealer and pay them plus im really short with my budget right now. so if you know anything that can help me out or you know wht i did wrong pls reply to this.

Rep Power: 326 when i was done clearing my headlights, i remember my right blinker blinking like a hyperblinker like you described. Fixed it by plugging my blinker back in... turns out i had forgoten to plug that one back in. So I'd suggest to check if everthing is plugged in right.
But from what you said i think you already may have checked that. So Maybe check the fuses.
Also, not sure what you mean about 4 connectors, you're only supposed to have 3...

Rep Power: 326 yeah, it's gotta be some unpluged wire... although i know know why it was unpluged in the first place cause it doesn't attatch to a bulb in the headlight... so it's gotta be something else. But it's most likely that brown connector

Rep Power: 0 The turn signal also "hyperblinks" when no bulb is plugged in...make sure the bulb is in all the way and that it's not burnt out.
The extra brown plug is for expansion I think (OEM fog light kit)... I also noticed mine's not attached to anything, but everything works fine on mine...

Rep Power: 0 If that middle bulb goes out, it will mess up the blinkers. when i did mine the middle light was out and the blinker was doing the same thing, I replaced the middle bulb first and the blinker started working again.

If not for this board my EL would be stock, I'd have a whole PILE of money and my own house. But instead I've learned and spent so much modding my car. Thanks 2k1civic....I think...
