Projector Headlight Installation Problem :-(

[static821]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone else has run accross this problem, or has had a similar issue. I just replaced my 96 front end to a 97-99 bumper. While I was doing this, I figured it woudl be a good time to get Halo Projector lights in as well. The installation seemed to go fine, and the headlights work....but...there's one little problem. My turn signals no longer work at all.

The turn signals on the front come on with the headlights and both the left and right side stay solidly lit.

When I get into the car and attempt to turn on my turn signals, nothing happens. I can't hear the little "clicking" noise, nor do my front or my rear turn signals do anything. My front signals stay solidly lit, and my rear ones just do not turn on.

THe headlight install should be totally done. The only thing is I never had a chance to wire my Halo's in last night since it got dark. Everything seems to work beautifully except this, and I have no idea what could be wrong?

ANyone had any similar experiences or want to take a guess as to what could be wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

sounds like you just tapped into the wrong wire?

I don't THINK so, although I could be wrong. The headlights merely seemed to be plug-n-play. Only the Halos needed special wiring, and I havent wired those up at all yet. :-/

Hey Slipstream, is there any particular reason you asked me this? Unfortunately, I pulled a bunch of interior pieces to paint them, and one of the pieces I pulled contained my hazard light switch, so I can't really test my lights until the paint dries and I put all my pieces back in. Is there something I should be looking for?

atariflames, I actually got the projects with a chrome backing since my car is silver, but it is totally possible we got the same lights. Is this a problem you ran into too?

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Its because your hazards are not hooked up! Plug them in you'll be fine...

MattGsx beat me back here for the punch, but he hit it on the head, without the hazard switch plugged in the turn signal circuit isn't complete...thus no turn signals. Somehow I just had a sneaking feeling on this one
