2001 DX headlights messed up

I have a 2001 DX 5 speed, for a few months now my drl light would come on because my passenger headlight wouldn't come so I just turned my headlights on. About 2 weeks ago the same headlight blew completely so i figured it had just been getting weak and finally died replaced the bulb hoping to fix my problem but now I have a bigger problem.

I have the same drl light problem the passenger one wont come on but now when I turn my headlights on my passenger one comes on but my drivers one goes off. My high beams is the opposite my drivers side comes one and the passenger goes out.

I have a pioneer d1200m amp powering 2 Alpine Type R 10 SWR-1022D subs, this draws a lot of power and I dont have a powercap hooked up. Could this of caused my issue? The system has been in my car since August so about 4 months.

If you have any idea what the problem is please let me know hoping its an easy fix!

Re: 2001 DX headlights messed up

not sure of the exact problem, but all i will say is, these cars and specifically the electrical/charging system does not take very well to aftermarket components or systems,

once you start playing around with the electrical system, strange problems like this seem to creep up

Does everything work normally when the amp is turned off?

Re: 2001 DX headlights messed up

You might solder up your drl module and try it again.

I would solder the relays, and the connector pins at the pcb.
