Default UHHH..

I said in my "boost gauge" post about how my low beam light doesnt work after my gauge install. Im guessing it happend when i was testing for a groud while the lights were on... The high beam works, and the fuses are not blown. Is there anyway I could have fried anything electrical???? Im scared now. I havent taken the low beam bulb out cuz i dont know how.. Its the HID unit i think.. I dont know about that stuff.. What do you think??

OK... But i didnt even touch any of the wiring except for the wiring on the boost gauge. This sucks because this is the kind of stuff i hate to work on.
Do you think if i vag it, that will give me an answer?

sorry to hear that... u sure that u checked the right fuse... so.... unplug one of your low beam wiring from the headlight and turn it on and test if is there a power coming ? if yes, then your bulbs are gone. if not, then .... I dont wanna think about it....

You can pick up a cheezy volt meter for less than 10 bucks to check it out. Just check where you were poking around for the ground wire also. Do you have OEM Hid?

The power wire is spliced into the power wire for the vent lights... And the ground is to the right of my right leg under the pannel that i took out to run the boost hose. How do I take the head light out? Its not very self explanitory from my brief look.
