Searched the forum, didn't find nothing liket his, so thought i'd give it a try.

Tried to install front projector headlights, let me just ask this question. If one were to disconnect all front lights except the main blinkers, would the blinkers work? or do all wires have to work together in order for any lights to work properly?

I tried wiring these stupid lights, now nothing works. When nothing is connected my inside console works fine, then if i connect just my bliners/sidemarkers, then the console lights up both left/right blinkers, and stays solid green, i turn blinkers on, left/or/right, and they dont blink, but if i turn off lights, with left blinker still on, all lights blink, even inside of console. This is just with the blinkers lights pluged in, when i attempt to hard wire projectors, then im really in a pickle.

This is why I ask, if maby the front lights have to be wired correctly, so that all lights may work properly; if true, this would save me a whole lot of worrying, if not, im basically fuct.
 
when doing wiring for any lights on the car, you have to wire them up exactly the same as they were stock onless you put together your own custom wiring harness and rewire like everything, you cant just go in and slap wires together and expect it to work, thats a good way to blow fuses and mess up your electrical system. I did a simple switch years ago on another car with just the low beams and the highbeams (put the low in the high and the high in the low by accident) and when i drove with the lows, on both lights worked, id hit the switch for high beams, all lights would go out but one head light. Best bet take it to a garage A GOOD ONE with a real electrician and have them rewire the lights for you. If you dont know what your doing or arent sure, DONT RISK IT. better safe then sorry. Best luck
