Try switching the bulbs from passenger to drivers. Does your DRL light come on while driving, if it does then it means the light is burnt out.

if the blub looks weak during low beam, and no light for high beam, the fuse maybe blown, it could also be the headlight relay, but most likely fuse

if it's fuse, make sure when you do any sort of work near electronics or on electronics on your car, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery

drl = day time running lights

Hey ferio..this isnt anything about your topic..but where'd you get the jdm sidemarkers..ive been wanting to get sum for a while.Oh..and since you black housed your headlights..make sure they dont fog up...test it, wash your car and see if the thing fogs up..cuz when i first black housed mine, they fogged up once i washed my car and i had to do the whole damm thing over again
