Ive had my projector headlights installed for about 2 weeks. Today i just hooked up my actual halos to my sidemarker lights. The halos are on the entire time the lights are on (not sure if thats how they should be)


The halos work fine, The lights perfect. My problem is i started my car up today and the dash lights and the gear selector lights did not come on. Also the taillights went out as well.

i havent checked the fuse's yet , but Im assuming its a blown fuse, But why would this fuse blow? Are my halos drawing to much current?


Everything in my car works flawlessly perfect, Until i hooked my halos up. I drove the car for maybe 30 minutes strate and parked it, Then when i went to start it up i had the interior lights and stuff not come on. I Dont get it
 
The LED's in the halos shouldn't be drawing very much current at all. Check all your fuses, then check for bad grounds. When you tapped for power for the halo's, where did you tap? Are those wires/connections insulated again with heat shrink tube or electrical tape?
 
Check your fuses and where you tapped-in to wire up the halo. I'll bet where ever you tapped-in to power the halos caused some kind of short and blew a fuse or two.
 
thanks guys will do


is the fuse for the dashlight under the dash or under the hood? Thanks
 
i pulled all the fuse's under the dash. None are blown


Heres a rundown of what currently isnt working


Dash Lights (speedo,etc)
Shifter Lights (around the shifter)
Running Lights / Parking Lights

Halos on my headlights (that are wired to my side marker lights)
