Side Markers Dead?

[BurnBarfield]

I just finished my 97-99 conversion and I purchased the Halo Projector Headlights. When I was wiring in the halos they worked at first, and now the side markers nor halos do anything.

I haven't any idea what it could be, the headlights work fine. Is there a separate fuse for them that I could have blown maybe?

Most likely it is just a fuse. Did you disconnect the battery before installing? If not when you tapped into the sidemarker lights to power Halo's you most likely let one of the wires come in contact with metal, blowing the fuse.

This happened to me. If you did blow a fuse though, there should be other things not working, I'm not sure what else it is that is involved with that fuse, probably dash lights or something of that sort. Check the fuse box under the dash in the car. It's on the drivers side up against the side the door is on, not the center console..

Let us know what you find.

Thanks for the answer bro, you are correct. Gauge lights, side markers, hvac controls all are not working..

Does anyone know what fuse I need to use?

For future reference, when doing this stuff, do I disconnect both the + and - of the battery?

Disconnecting the negative(black)connection is mandatory when doing any work on a car. Many things can happen when you don't do that. Better safe than sorry, and it takes about 5 seconds.
