hey guys

trying to sort out a few issues with the 86 its JDM if that makes a difference?

my head lights are working, im getting power to the plugs.
the car is running a HID kit so one of the head light plugs is running the HID kit the other one is not plugged in at all.

The HID works fine

#1 i dont have parking lights up front, no power at all

#2 i dont have any power for rear lights. i have brakes, parkers, and indicators but no rear lights (when i turn the head lights on)

iv checked all my fuses and they are all fine

going a little bit crazy so some help would be awesome

ok so i think i have the rear sorted out, the lights are fairly dim but the battery is a bit flat due to playing with head lights all day

ill check all my earth's out tomorrow as if been told they could cause some problems

still not luck on the front parkers, could it be something to do with the switch??

Parkers and tail lights/no. plate lights are the same circuit. Do you have dash illumination?
Should be a relay clicking when you switch parkers on too. Do you mean the tail lights go out when you switch to low/high beam?

[Tim.duncan]

All the lights in the rear are working fine, including the plate lights

Yes I have lights on the dash

Just no front parkers

Any idea where the relay is stashed?

tim check the relays and fuses, i have a shitty hid kit and when i turn on my high beams it blows the head light fuses, if only one of your headlight wires are powering up the hid kits maybe you have overloaded something. on my car the whole kit wouldnt work if i disconnected just one of the wires

change your sig........it makes you look like a complete tool for so many different reasons.

Tim, JDM vehicles have the front park (side lights) on a seperate circuit. The earth for these is on the LH fender......so id check that.

Also, according to the wiring diagram, the clearance lights (thats what they call the front parks on JDM) are powered through the radio illumination circuit (??) so have a suss of that circuit. Have you messed with that lately?

edit, check the fuses in the engine bay fuse box too......apparently there is a radio fuse in there too, this might have something to do with it.

thanks slide i will suss all that out. very helpfull!

but at the same time abit hard as all the wiring has been moved around on this car. looks great but a pain to try and fix things
i checked all the fuses (engine bay and foot well)

i have the same problem with my front parkers, but i have no lights on the inside of the dash what so ever, and my centre light in the car doesnt work either, i have checked the fuse for the centre light any body no what the problem may be?
